A mission made personal
On the CommonSpirit Health national leadership team, hundreds of executives are stepping up in a profound act of humankindness by making personal investments to local priority projects.
Each of these initiatives addresses one of the greatest health needs of vulnerable populations in their respective local communities. And each executive leader gives out of deep care for the team members who live and work in those communities — and for the thriving health of their neighbors.
We appreciate all our donors, but it means the world when our national leaders personally give to help programs like ours flourish. We feel the love and intention behind every one of these gifts. They demonstrate that, while we are geographically apart, we truly are united by our shared commitment as CommonSpirit Health to serving our most vulnerable neighbors.

The CommonSpirit Health executive leadership team has taken on three special projects:
R.E.D. Rose Program (Responsible Early Detection) at Dignity Health – St. Rose Dominican in Henderson, Nevada, provides uninsured and underinsured women and men with access to breast health screenings, resource referrals and treatment services. Financial assistance is also available to individuals diagnosed with breast cancer and undergoing treatment. The executive leadership team recently committed $37,000 towards this program!
Hope Street Margolis Family Center, a resource of California Hospital in Los Angeles, California, helps transform life trajectories for children and families with programs that span early care and education, child welfare and mental health, family literacy and an after-school youth center offering mentoring, recreating and academic support. Generous donations make this work possible, extending California Hospital’s impact far beyond what most people expect from a hospital that also provides outstanding medical care.
MOMobile (Maternity Outreach Mobile Unit) at Dignity Health – St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona, is a clinic on wheels, delivering prenatal care to pregnant women who have no ability to pay for medical care during pregnancy. The MOMobile saves the lives of mothers and babies, preventing premature births and low birth weights. Gifts to the MOMobile program fund the salaries of the nurse practitioner, two coordinators, gas, insurance and other things related to providing a full-service women’s clinic.
“The national leaders’ contributions to MOMobile shows that CommonSpirit Health is interested and personally investing in the health and well-being of our mommies and babies that are most vulnerable in Phoenix. Executive leaders making personal monetary gifts reflects our values and mission across the ministry.” - Terri Hoffman President and Chief Philanthropy Officer, St. Joseph’s Foundation
