Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Contributions from generous donors are invested locally to support patient care programs and
services operated by Banner’s many hospitals and health care facilities across Arizona and, most recently, in Wyoming—improving the lives of millions of people every day. Since Banner Health’s inception in 1999, more than $289 million in charitable gifts to the Foundations have been re-invested in Banner Health services, facilities, and programs to meet the health needs of our diverse communities.
Last year, Banner Health provided $1 billion worth of community benefit, including some $177 million
in charity care, patient financial assistance, and subsidized services. Philanthropic support allows
Banner Health to care for patients from all walks of life—regardless of their ability to pay—and to conduct groundbreaking research, educate and train tomorrow’s health care professionals, and offer a variety
of special services, community health education, and supportive resources.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
1. Retain, engage and inspire staff and boards to achieve strategic results
2. Engage and cultivate grateful patients and families to invest philanthropically in Banner Health
3. Advance foundation and government grant funding and corporate investment in Banner Health programs
4. Sustain and retain donor investment over time
