a new chapter begins...
2019 was a year of new beginnings for Arizona's public teaching health system. After more than 140 years serving Arizona's most critical health care needs, Maricopa Integrated Health System changed its name to better reflect the important role it plays in the lives of ALL Arizonans. The "VALLEY" in our name represents the exceptional, compassionate care provided throughout Maricopa County, one of the largest and fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the country. Our hospitals and 12 community health centers throughout the Valley are there to treat all who walk through our doors with dignity and respect, regardless of their ability to pay. "WISE" signifies nearly a century-and-a-half of wisdom gained serving Arizona as a teaching hospital, and for our role as one of Arizona's oldest and largest physician training programs. With nearly 3,500 medical learners rotating through our system each year - YOUR doctor likely trained at Valleywise Health. New buildings, new programs, new donors, new beginnings and a new name - we invite you to go ALL IN with our Foundation as Valleywise Health transforms care to improve community health. The groundwork is laid, and the rest of the story is ours to write - together.
Sincerely, Nate Lowrie
CEO, Valleywise Health Foundation
