Lifetime Banner Benefactor
Banner Good Samaritan Liver Transplant
“When I came to Banner Good Samaritan, we had been told my only chance for survival was a liver transplant. The physicians and staff immediately let me know we had come to the right place. They gave us a renewed sense of hope. Once my transplant was successfully completed, I was a new man – planning for a longer life with my family instead of worrying about the future for my wife and daughters. I prayed throughout my experience and know that God guided me to Banner Good Samaritan. I felt that I had to do something to show my appreciation for the amazing care I received. I am so grateful for my “2nd life,” and I wanted the Banner Good Samaritan Liver Transplant program to continue to provide that kind of care for others.”

Annual Banner Benefactor
Cardon Children’s Medical Center School Program
“As a teacher of gifted students for 37 years, I am passionate about children and learning. I felt an immediate connection to Cardon Children’s Medical Center, and after learning about the School Program, I knew I had to do whatever I could to support this important program. The hope and spirit that the patients at Cardon Children’s show, no matter what their circumstances, amazes me and inspires me. They have truly taught me what is important in life. I love them and thank them. Through my philanthropic support and volunteering at the hospital, I know that Cardon Children’s Medical Center really is all about the children!”
