VNA Health was founded more than a century ago by an exceptional woman, Marian Watts, and a group of public-spirited and far-sighted women. Our community has been blessed to have remarkable women and compassionate caregivers who have shaped the legacy of our community’s character, health, and ability to live well.
In honor of these amazing women and mothers in our community, we gather each year at our distinguished Mother’s Day Luncheon to celebrate two mothers – one living and one in memory – and to share our gratitude for their lives and contributions to our community.
SAVE THE DATE: FRIDAY, MAY 6, 2022
21st Annual Mother’s Day Luncheon
Rosewood Miramar Beach Hotel
In 2022, VNA Health is proud to honor KEIKO DUNHAM and remember MARCELLA RINEHART PARKER at our beloved 21st Annual Mother’s Day Luncheon. These women epitomize compassion, kindness, and generosity — traits of the remarkable women who founded VNA Health in Santa Barbara more than 113 years ago. Join us and celebrate these women with music, dance, and love!
We thank you for your support, which funds our charitable community programs to ensure that we continue to bring health and comfort to Santa Barbara families.
