We’re grateful to the Gila River Indian Community for their generous $15,000 grant supporting the Valleywise Health Family Resource Centers. 💚

This support helped strengthen free, family-centered programs at our eight FRC locations in 2025, reaching nearly 30,000 parents and children across Maricopa County. From early literacy and school readiness, parenting classes, music and movement, and STEM-based learning, these resources give families practical tools and connections to help children thrive.

Because of this investment, families also received monthly literacy packets, summer activity kits, and more than 3,000 backpacks filled with school supplies, reducing stress and helping kids start the school year ready to learn.

Thank you, Gila River Indian Community, for investing in children, families, and healthier communities. Your partnership is making a real difference.

National Burn Awareness Week is the perfect time to shine a light on not only the incredible work happening at the Diane & Bruce Halle Arizona Burn Center at Valleywise Health, but also the strength of those who fight to survive burn injuries, like Jason Schechterle.

Thanks to generous community support, the Burn Center team is able to provide lifesaving care, advanced treatment, and ongoing support for patients and families when they need it most. We’re grateful for the caregivers, partners, and supporters who make this work possible. 💚

Seeing the NICU through the eyes of our smallest patients 💚

Valleywise Health Foundation was proud to support the recent “Preemie for a Day” experience, a hands-on training program that helps clinicians see care from a preemie’s perspective. This immersive approach strengthens developmentally supportive, family-centered care for our tiniest and most vulnerable patients.

One of our favorite days at work every year!

A big thank you to Daisy Mountain Fire & Medical for rolling up with a truck full of toys and a whole lot of holiday cheer for kids at Valleywise Health. 🎁

These moments mean so much to our pediatric patients and families, and they’re a great reminder of how special our community partners truly are.

We’re so grateful for your generosity and for helping make the holidays a little brighter. ✨

A huge thank you to Kitchell for choosing Valleywise Health Foundation as the beneficiary of this year’s Build Fore Good Golf Tournament. ⛳💙 Their incredible $100,000 gift will strengthen Integrated Behavioral Health programs that support children, teens, and young adults across our community.

Two Valleywise Health Psychiatry Residents, Daniel Takla, MD and Mason Webb, MD, joined us on the course to share more about the importance of mental health and how Valleywise Health supports our community through behavioral health programs. We’re grateful to our partners who believe in expanding access to compassionate, whole-person care.
