Emergency Department and Patient Care Transformation

Your charitable gifts through Sun Health Foundation fund a legacy of world-class healthcare in our own backyard. To date, your generous support has provided the community with a new, spacious, state-of-the-art Emergency Department at Banner Boswell Medical Center. Ongoing contributions will continue to elevate healthcare in our community to benefit you today, and your family, friends and neighbors tomorrow.

“One of the biggest advantages of the new space is the patient care zones where patients can be triaged based on their level of acuity, which allows for efficiencies in staffing, diagnosis and treatment.”

—PAOLA LINYARD, R.N., M.S.N., M.H.A., DIRECTOR OF OBSERVATION, EMERGENCY AND TRAUMA SERVICES, BANNER BOSWELL
