The vision of this brand-new program is to train emergency medicine physicians with a focus on clinical excellence, compassion and community to provide quality care and social justice for all. On behalf of the program director and faculty, your support is greatly appreciated. Your donation can help ensure this program is truly innovative including:
  • Specialized Academic Training: Empowering our faculty and future physicians with knowledge to excel.

  • Innovative Teaching Tools: Keeping our curriculum cutting-edge and effective.

  • Advanced Patient Care Equipment: Ensuring the best outcomes for every patient we serve.

  • Wellness Initiatives: supporting the well-being of our physicians as they care for others.

  • Top-Tier Technologies: Enhancing the learning experience and equipping our residents for success.

Our goal goes beyond just developing an excellent program; we aim to set a new standard of becoming the premier Emergency Medicine residency program in the state! This ensures excellent health care in the East Valley as our community continues to grow exponentially.

100% of your donation will directly impact the lives of emergency room doctors in training. You may give through direct donations, stock, Paid Time Off (for Dignity Health or Common Spirit employees) or by leaving a legacy. Every dollar counts and the GME team will ensure they invest your generous gift wisely.  Also keep an eye out for their signature Charity Casino Night fundraiser that will be back again next fall or winter.

Expert Compassionate Care from the Trauma Center Saves Lives

When Kevin Daniels left his house in Chandler on a January morning in 2020, he never imagined that he would wake up in the Level 1 Trauma Center at Chandler Regional Medical Center and would spend the next 89 days in the hospital, followed by months of home visits, appointments, complications, and relapses.

The motor vehicle crash was, and will always be, a mystery, according to his wife, Linda. Doctors believe he experienced a medical anomaly that caused him to lose control of his vehicle, never braking when he left the freeway and headed toward the exit.

Thankfully, no one in the other vehicles was seriously injured, but Kevin was not so fortunate. From Linda’s viewpoint, where luck was on his side, is in the fact that he was so close to an excellent trauma center.

“The gratitude I feel for the staff at Chandler Regional is boundless. They were always there when I needed them, and they always approached us with care and kindness.”

Each Gift is an Act of Lasting Generosity

Imagine the impact your kindness could have, not just for the present, but in shaping a healthier future for the next generations. This is the essence of the Marian Joseph Legacy Giving Society at Dignity Health Foundation - East Valley.

Joining our legacy society is a declaration of your commitment to excellence and compassionate care. It's about creating a legacy that resonates with your values and vision for the future of your community's health. We offer a variety of avenues for legacy giving, ensuring that your contribution aligns with your personal and financial goals.

One of the most advantageous ways to leave your mark is through a Charitable IRA Rollover. If you're 70 1/2 years or older, you can transfer funds from your traditional IRA directly to a program or service at Chandler Regional Medical Center or Mercy Gilbert Medical Center without incurring federal income tax on the withdrawal. This provision not only allows you to fulfill your charitable desires but also reduces the taxable estate, benefitting both your heirs and the causes you hold dear.
