More than 100 HonorHealth Ambassadors participated in the organization’s seventh annual Give Back Day on November 22, working with nonprofit partners across several cities in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The initiative aimed to support families, revitalize neighborhoods, and address hunger.
HonorHealth Executive Vice President John Neil, MD, joined other volunteers in activities that included packing and distributing Thanksgiving meals at the Desert Mission Food Bank in Phoenix and cleaning up Grand Linear Park in Glendale through the Glendale Community Volunteer Program. In Scottsdale, volunteers worked with Operation Fix It to clean yards and repaint a senior homeowner’s residence. Other efforts took place at sites such as the Orchard Community Learning Center in South Phoenix, Creighton Community Foundation in Phoenix, Feed My Starving Children in Tempe, and House of Refuge in Mesa.
The event was established to serve communities where HonorHealth team members live and work. According to the organization, more than 5,300 HonorHealth Ambassadors volunteer throughout the year on causes important to them.
“Across every site, HonorHealth team members brought compassion, collaboration and service to the forefront by demonstrating what it means to care for our neighbors beyond the walls of our medical centers,” according to a statement from HonorHealth.
HonorHealth is one of Arizona’s largest nonprofit healthcare systems serving about five million people across nine hospitals and a broad network of medical services. The system employs over 17,000 staff members and works with more than 4,000 affiliated providers.
