Happy World Gratitude Day!

Today, we're pausing to say a simple but heartfelt thank you.

Thank you to our team, whose compassion shows up in everything they do. To our volunteers and donors, whose generosity makes our mission possible. And to the patients and community we're honored to serve every day — you are the reason we do this work.

Gratitude is at the heart of everything we do, and today we're feeling especially thankful for all of you.

From all of us: thank you. 💜

Celebrating our CEO, Kim Despres!

We're proud to share that Kim was named a finalist for the Phoenix Business Journal’s 2026 Health Care Heroes Awards! 🎉

Being recognized among the very best in health care is a tremendous honor, and it's a reflection of Kim's unwavering dedication, leadership, and heart for the people we serve. To us — and to everyone whose life has been touched by her work — she's a hero every single day.

Congratulations, Kim. We're so lucky to have you leading the way! 💜

We're SO close — and it's all because of you!

An anonymous donor gave $500,000 to the East Valley Medical Center, then challenged our community to raise $500,000 more. And you have showed up.

We've now raised $442,542.92. That leaves just $57,457.08 to hit our goal and bring a full $1 million to healthcare right here at home.

This isn't just a number. It's a diagnosis caught early. A comfortable bed during chemo. First steps taken again after surgery.

⏰ The challenge ends October 31.

You've carried us to the finish line. Let's cross it together. 👇

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

For 13 years, Jerman Dawson experienced homelessness, moving from Chicago to Phoenix while living with serious mental illness. Last October, after a su***de attempt, he arrived at Circle the City's medical respite center with nothing—his body and spirit broken.

What he found was a second chance. He regained the strength to walk, began to heal physically and mentally, and slowly started to feel human again. He credits his peer support specialists, behavioral health team, and medical staff for walking beside him every step of the way.

Healing is possible. If you or someone you love is struggling, you are not alone. Call or text 988, the Su***de and Crisis Lifeline, anytime, day or night.

Home at last! 🏠

We celebrated with Mary and Henry, two of our patients, as they moved into their new place—and got to help carry in that very first load of groceries. There's nothing quite like watching someone fill their own kitchen, in their own home.

For us, caring for our patients doesn't stop at healthcare—it's about seeing them thrive. 💜

💜 Today is International Day of Charity.

Every day, we have the privilege of caring for our neighbors facing homelessness — offering a safe place to heal, meeting people right where they are, and treating everyone with the dignity they deserve.

But we can't do this alone. It's the generosity of people like you that makes our work possible.

So on this day dedicated to giving, we're asking you to stand with us. Your gift — no matter the size — helps us provide healthcare and hope to someone who needs it most.

Thank you for being part of our circle.
