8125 North Hayden Road | Scottsdale, AZ 85258 | 480-587-5000 | HonorHealthFoundation.org HonorHealth Foundation is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization For 22 years, two people have quietly, steadily, generously shaped the quality of healthcare in our community through philanthropy. Chuck and Alice Palmer hold a unique appreciation for recognizing the hidden potential in process and infrastructure improvements to elevate a hospital to its highest potential. „ Through their generosity and insight, HonorHealth was able to pioneer advanced patient safety protocols and establish a fleet of germ- zapping robots to drastically reduce the risk of infection in our hospitals, safeguarding countless patients and staff. „ Chuck saw the value in cutting-edge technology to help patients regain mobility and balance following stroke or injury and funded new equipment for outpatient rehabilitation therapy at HonorHealth Thompson Peak Medical Center. „ Most recently, the Palmers committed a transformational gift to ensure patients have access to the most advanced heart care. The result is a new, state of the art cardiac and vascular operating suite at HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea, an important addition to their Cardiovascular Center of Excellence. PI L L A R S O F H O N O R: Chuck & Alice Palmer “Untold patients may never know how abundantly their HonorHealth care was impacted by the generosity of this one couple,” marvels Jan Miller, HonorHealth Foundation gift officer (above), who has enjoyed a warm relationship with the Palmers. “We are so grateful for the impact Chuck and Alice continue to make through their commitment to transforming health and well-being in our community.”

The company’s warp-speed expansion turned out 3,200 radios daily, making Grunow a multimillionaire. He built an impressive mansion in Chicago and then (like fellow Chicagoan, William Wrigley) turned his sights on Phoenix as the family winter destination. Grunow’s home on the south The story of the Lois Grunow Memorial Clinic The building was dedicated to “a search for scientific facts to aid the medical profession, to dispel ignorance, to destroy superstition and fear, and to find means to prevent, remedy, and cure disease.” Phoenix Treasure FRONTDOORS MEDIA | 21 | FEBRUARY 2022
