It’s always heartwarming when someone makes a donation in honor of a compassionate caregiver — a beloved physician, a dedicated nurse. But when multiple donations come in recognizing an entire department? That’s truly special!

We proudly celebrated the Dermody Emergency Care team, who received over half a dozen donations this year through our Guardian Angel program. Their unwavering commitment to compassionate care has clearly touched many lives. Each team member was honored with a Guardian Angel pin and a sweet treat — a small token of our immense gratitude!

Have you or a loved one been impacted by exceptional care? Say “thank you” in a meaningful way by making a gift through our Guardian Angel program. Text ANGEL to 41444 to make a tribute gift and thank the doctor, nurse, or caregiver who went above and beyond. 💜

We were thrilled to welcome Frank’s Irvine Subaru to the Irma Feldcamp Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at MemorialCare Saddleback Medical Center for a generous check presentation!

Thanks to the Subaru Share the Love Event, an incredible $32,853 was donated to support women’s health and our newborn babies.

With longtime partners like Frank’s Irvine Subaru, we’re able to expand women’s health initiatives and provide compassionate, high-quality care to our tiniest patients. Your support brings hope, healing and brighter beginnings to families in our community — thank you for being a true part of our circle of philanthropy.

On May 3, MemorialCare Saddleback Medical Center Foundation hosted a record-breaking Spring Gala at Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach, raising $862,000 to support the mission of Saddleback Medical Center.

From limoncello martinis to a heartfelt story of healing from cancer, guests were transported to a Capri-inspired evening filled with elegance and purpose.

The Fund-A-Need segment of the program raised $165,500 to advance cancer care at Saddleback Medical Center — investing in services such as nurse navigation, nutritional support, genetic counseling and survivorship programs, helping us deliver exceptional, holistic cancer care to those who need it most.

Whether you joined us in person or supported from afar, we raise a toast to you. Your philanthropy fuels our mission to improve the health and well-being of individuals, families and communities. Thank you for making this night unforgettable.
