A BridgetoHope Inspiringour Daughters SeeIt andBeIt
Thank you for joining the Maricopa Health Foundation today as we celebrate four of the accomplished female leaders and educators at Maricopa Integrated Health System, soon-to-be Valleywise Health ? the Valley?s public teaching hospital and community health system. They represent the nearly 4,000 physicians, nurses, allied health professionals, and other MIH S employees whose mission is to provide exceptional care, without exception, to every patient, every time.
Nita Francis BOARD CHAIR
Maricopa Health Foundation
In addition to the important roles they play in the board room, operating room, emergency department, and community health clinic ? they are daughters, wives, fiancĂŠes, mothers, aunts and sisters too. They lead and teach new doctors, nurses and allied health professionals ? while managing busy and full personal lives as well. A few things we?ll learn ? -
What inspired their dreams and who mentored them along the way? What hurdles and challenges did they conquer and overcome? What lessons were they taught by women in their lives? What do they tell young women exploring a science or medical career? How do we help our daughters, sisters, granddaughters, nieces and ourselves ? advocate for our health in today?s complex world.
a
We?ll learn how MIH S, the Valley?s public teaching hospital and safety net health system, has found innovative solutions to address Arizona?s health provider shortage, and its important role in the Creighton University Arizona Health Education Alliance. As a retired Registered Nurse, and someone who used the community health system as a young married couple and when our children were small ? I hope you?ll leave today with a better understanding of why I?m passionate about supporting those called to serve and teach at our safety-net health system for ALL. On behalf of my fellow Maricopa Health Foundation board members and co-hosts of today?s Bridge to Hope Women?s Luncheon, Anne McNamara and Jill Krigsten Riley, we?d like to thank you for spending your valuable time with us. A very special thank you to table hostesses April Halaby, Roselyn Meyer, Ann Stupp, Lisa Hartsock, Joette Schmidt, Michele Neal, Kate Hollist and Marcia Scott for helping us spread the word about this jewel in our Valley. We invite you to join us in investing in community health through the Maricopa Health Foundation. Sincerely,
Juanita Francis Board Chair Maricopa Health Foundation Soon to be Valleywise Health Foundation
