Transformative Healthcare

Access to healthcare has a ripple effect throughout the community. When patients receive preventive care, education, and treatment, families become healthier, workplaces become stronger, and communities become more resilient.

Donations to Sage Foundation for Health help create sustainable change by supporting free healthcare services and training the next generation of healthcare professionals. Student clinicians gain valuable experience serving diverse populations while patients receive care they may not otherwise be able to access.

Together, we are building healthier communities throughout Maricopa County.

Sage Foundation for Health provides funding to community clinics throughout Maricopa County which are staffed with licensed faculty physicians and third- and fourth-year medical students from Sonoran University of Health Sciences. Patients include families in low-income school districts, survivors of domestic violence, patients recovering from homelessness and trauma, individuals seeking LGBTQ+ care, and patients recovering from substance use.

Clinical training students treat chronic and acute health conditions by working with patients to restore health and improve self-care choices. These shifts give students a unique opportunity to provide treatment and gain skills and experience in a community healthcare setting and enhance their cultural competence working with a diverse patient population. Treatments often include clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, physical medicine, acupuncture, homeopathy, and prescription medicines when necessary. Thanks to generous community support, services and treatments are provided to patients at no cost.

You can provide free healthcare for those in need at no cost to you! Through the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit you can receive a credit on your Arizona tax liability up to $495 individually or $987 for couples filing jointly.

There are four types of Arizona tax credits. Sage Foundation for Health is a Qualified Charitable Organization (QCO), eligible for the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit.  Any Arizona taxpayer is eligible to claim this credit and it does not conflict with other Arizona tax credits. This means that you can donate to each type of organization and claim each credit. If you itemize your federal taxes, your gift to Sage Foundation will also qualify as a federal deduction.
