HonorHealth recognized more than 1,300 volunteers at a Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon held April 16 at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Resort, marking National Volunteer Week with a celebration of the roughly 177,000 hours those volunteers contributed to the health system in 2025.

The luncheon highlighted milestone anniversaries for three long-serving volunteers: Karen Love, recognized for 40 years of service; Tom Paige, for 30 years; and Kathy Wasson, for 25 years.

According to HonorHealth's announcement, volunteer roles span the health system — from greeting visitors and helping individuals navigate facilities to offering comfort during difficult moments in care.

Two programs expanded volunteer reach in 2025. At HonorHealth Scottsdale Osborn Medical Center, volunteers supported the Trauma Survivor Cart, providing comfort items and connection to patients and families. A dementia volunteer program also launched, focused on presence, patience, and meaningful engagement for patients experiencing cognitive challenges.

HonorHealth said it welcomes volunteers from all backgrounds and that volunteer work supports patients, families, support staff, and the broader community.
