Total Joint Center of Excellence
Initiative Goal: $5,000,000
A center of excellence dedicated to total joint replacement will feature a multidisciplinary group of providers with a mission to help patients eliminate pain and restore the function of an arthritic hip, knee, or shoulder joint. The team will work closely with each patient to identify and diagnose their condition and customize an individualized treatment solution. Our expert surgeons will employ the most advanced and innovative techniques in total joint replacement surgery. We will also develop the technology and tools to track and report Patient Reported Outcomes Measures to ensure each patient’s goals are met.
Sports Medicine Patient Assistance Fund
Initiative Goal: $5,000,000
Athletes are the heart of sports medicine. Ensuring all athletes—no matter their economic background—have access to leading-edge treatments at Banner Sports Medicine Scottsdale is a vital component of this program designed to serve and care for our communities. Patient assistance funds will help qualifying patients with out-of-pocket costs for care and needed services, ensuring that every athlete can receive quality care and support.
Sports Medicine Injury Prevention Education in Schools
Initiative Goal: $3,000,000
Educating young athletes about how to prevent injuries is vital to our mission. The Game On: Young Athletes Injury Prevention Education Fund provides preventative care through three distinct assessments proven to reduce injury and promote participation in sports. Sports physicals, ImPACT Assessments, and Fusionetics performance and injury risk assessment are the gold standard of preventative care for youth athletes. With support from the Game On Fund, Banner Sports Medicine will partner with the Arizona Interscholastic Association and school districts across Arizona to schedule on-site sports physical outreach events focused on injury prevention. Philanthropic partners are essential for this work because of regulatory laws preventing a health care provider from rendering free services.
