On Thursday, June 9, 2022 we gathered to celebrate Grace Leland's 66 years of service to Northridge Hospital Medical Center. It was a wonderful event and meant so much to Grace. Past and present physicians, administrators, staff and friends, all joined in the recognition to say thank you and to bestow upon Grace their best wishes. 

It is with great pleasure that Northridge Hospital Foundation announces the Grace Leland Tribute Fund which has been established in honor of Grace. This award will be given annually to an individual who exemplifies the outstanding characteristics of dedication, devotion and commitment to Northridge Hospital Medical Center. The same qualities Grace brought to work every day.

The selected individual will receive a beautiful crystal award and a $250 gift certificate(s) to a restaurant(s) of their liking. The gift certificate(s) will allow us to support eating establishments in our local community. This award will also allow the hospital to keep the Legacy of Grace Leland alive for many years to come.
