2023 Annual Report

The lives you’ve changed

Kael Bernard “The care Kael received was the difference between what is and what could have been.” Tim Bernard Kael’s dad

Everyone has a story. Every life can be changed. These are just a few of the stories we shared over the past year that were possible because donors made sure the best care was available when it was needed most.

Sarah Reid “If it were not for the critical care that I received, I would not be here for my son today. He still has his mom thanks to their knowledge and expertise.” Sarah Reid Grateful patient Rick Weich “Our youngest son was graduating from high school in June and Rick had to miss it. This was a difficult time for us but one of our nurses helped us through by reminding us that they were working towards getting Rick to future weddings and holding his future grandbabies. Rick has already been able to enjoy our oldest son’s wedding, thanks to the incredible care team.” Kathy Weich Rick’s wife Bodie Family “Foothills staff are angels on earth. We would not have our precious little man without them. They literally laughed with us, cried with us, fought with and for us. He was loved as if surrounded by family there. We could thank them for a lifetime and it wouldn’t be enough.” Chelsea Bodie Blair’s mom

Bernhard Family “You have to put your trust in these people. They truly did what was best for our kids. I am just so thankful for everybody that helped us along the journey.” Josh Bernhard Noah and Emma’s dad Dahl Family “The NICU wrapped us in their arms and were an incredible support to us during a very scary time. No one understands what it truly means to have a baby in the NICU until you have experienced it.” Caylee Dahl Carson & Jackson’s mom Terry Williams “We are grateful for the quick and impactful care that Terry received. The quality of people’s lives can be significantly impacted by early and quick intervention. It is the difference between being a caregiver and getting my partner back.” Carly Williams Terry’s wife
