This year’s symposium brought together experts, clinicians, and first responders to share knowledge and strengthen collaboration in the care of burn patients across Arizona.

We’re grateful to have corporate partners like Kitchell, who always go the extra mile for our patients and families. 💚

As part of their annual Founder’s Day, the Kitchell team hosted a Hearts & Soles shoe drive, donating more than 60 pairs of shoes to help our Care Management team provide footwear to patients in need at discharge.

Thank you, Kitchell, for helping us care for our community with compassion from head to toe. 👟

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re proud to share the story of Dr. Elizabeth Ferguson, a reconstructive plastic surgeon at Valleywise Health. For more than 14 years, she has helped breast cancer patients feel whole again.

💬 “One of my greatest joys is making patients feel physically whole so they can love their family and friends the way they want to.” – Dr. Ferguson

Her work, alongside our all-female oncology and radiology team, ensures that even the most vulnerable in our community receive compassionate care.

💙 Meet Kathleen Lindsay, an Application Systems Analyst at Valleywise Health who has been giving back through her work, and through her support of the Valleywise Health Foundation, since joining the organization in 2013.

“My mom was a nurse, and I grew up watching how much she cared for her patients and her team. Working alongside her showed me it’s often the little things that make the biggest difference, like a warm blanket or a kind word. Giving to the Foundation is my way of doing my part and honoring that legacy of care.” – Kathleen Lindsay, Application Systems Analyst

Thank you to Kathleen, and to all our employees for being the Heart of Valleywise Health!
