Ella named Chandler Regional Medical Center as a beneficiary in her estate. The inspiring life and legacy of giving Ella provided was honored by naming the gift shop at Chandler Regional.

The Dignity Health East Valley Guardian Angel Program provides a meaningful way for patients or family members to honor a physician, nurse, volunteer or any staff member who provided excellent care during their visit. We are thankful to the Husband and Wife Law Team for sponsoring this special program of gratitude.
Our newest Guardian Angel, David, was inspired to serve our ministry as a volunteer after receiving compassionate care during his personal treatment of a brain tumor. Now living in Scottsdale, he goes out of his way to get to Chandler to share his passion for spreading hope to all he meets at Chandler Regional.
This special man is known by many, and was recently recognized with a gift made by a grateful patient and his family. This gift included a nomination to honor David as an incredible volunteer and Guardian Angel.
