Their dedication to the well-being of our youngest patients is truly inspiring.

It’s because of supporters like YOU that we can continue to fulfill our mission of providing exceptional care to every patient, every time, regardless of their ability to pay.

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our former board chair John Hoopes.

John served the Valleywise Health Foundation as a board member from 2017- 2022, serving for one year as Board Chair. John was also a grateful patient, having spent five weeks in the Arizona Burn Center - Valleywise Health for injuries sustained in a welding accident. John’s awareness of Valleywise Health began following his experience, as he was so grateful for the exceptional care he received. He spoke often about his experience as a patient and was always willing to share his story with passion as he spoke about the kindness and compassionate care he received. His passion for our mission grew during his time on the board, often sharing with others information and stories about the critical need for serving the underserved population in the state and county he loved.

The Foundation will forever be grateful for his servant leadership as a board member and board chair, but also for his belief in the power of corporate leadership and the responsibility of all leaders to give back to the community in which they live. John was a humble man and truly embodied the importance of our work through his commitment to Valleywise Health.

He will be missed deeply.

Thanks to the generosity of the Arizona Women’s

Thanks to the generosity of the Arizona Women’s Board, Valleywise Health has continued the food-as-medicine model to address kidney health, diabetes and obesity from our highly diverse patient population.

Ongoing support from the Arizona Women’s Board with a generous gift of $125,000, focuses on improving health outcomes for diverse, low-income patients and families within Valleywise Community Health Center - South Central and Valleywise Community Health Center - South Phoenix/Laveen. These patients have identified chronic health conditions or diseases that, if left unchecked can lead to kidney disease, obesity, hypertension and diabetes.

The partnership between @awb.authors.luncheon, @valleywise_az, @homeassisthealth, @activatefoodaz and @farmexpressmobilemarkets helps reduce barriers for patients and families with chronic health conditions improve their access to fresh fruits and vegetables.

Thank you Arizona Women’s Board and our partners for making this program possible!

Our first Emerging Leaders mentee spotlight is Jaz

Our first Emerging Leaders mentee spotlight is Jazmine Cole, Associate Chief of Staff at evolvedMD. Jazmine is mentored by Lia Christiansen, Chief Administrative Officer of Valleywise Health.

Jazmine’s favorite session so far of the 2023 Emerging Leaders program was the “How We Find Community” session where she was invited to moderate a discussion with Tina Huff, PhD, SHRM-SCP - President, Accelerari Consulting and Susan Lara Willars - SVP, Chief Human Resources Officer, Valleywise Health. Jazmine was nervous, yet excited to challenge herself and facilitate this conversation with two C-Suite level executives.

“It’s been wonderful learning from women in the field as they share their passion for philanthropy and how the younger generation can get involved and find our purpose through service.”

We’re grateful to have you in our 2023 Emerging Leaders program, Jazmine! 💚
