We’re only as good as the ways in which we give back to the communities we serve. Great things happen every day in our hospitals – children born, lives saved, families gathering with their loved ones. In addition to what happens inside our hospital walls, we’re also an active member in the community. In addition, Abrazo Health continues to provide healthcare information and education to our community. Here are just a few of the ways we give back.
American Heart Association
Abrazo Health employees participate in the annual American Heart Association Phoenix Heart Walk to fund research to fight against heart disease and stroke.
Community Education
Abrazo encourages healthy families and promotes active communities through education and outreach. Our hospitals offer a variety of classes including heart health, orthopedics, medical weight loss, diabetes education, health screenings, childbirth and breast feeding classes.
