The Irene Dunne Guild is one of Saint John’s most vital philanthropic and service groups. Founded in 1987, the Guild has raised over $16 million for Saint John’s programs, equipment and special projects.

Supporting saint john's for 36 years

Irene Dunne Guild members have been serving the health center for 36 years and remain committed to strengthening Saint John’s for our community. Like our namesake, Irene Dunne, Guild members put their hearts forward, finding innovative ways to raise funds, comfort patients, educate their community and nurture the Health Center's mission of compassionate care. We raise funds through our Patron Drive, volunteer for programs and host events to help Saint John's provide leading edge medicine with unwavering compassion and personalized care.

Events:
​think pink for women's wellness

Created in 2006 by previous Guild President Fran Flanagan, Think Pink is one of the main Guild events held every May in honor of Mother's Day to promote awareness in women of health issues, programs and prevention that will bring better health to them and their families.

This is a highly popular health education event.  Always a sell-out, it is a great way to learn about women's health and celebrate fellow women.
