who we are

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.
​​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.

​​Why Should I Donate to the Guild?
100% of donations to our Patron Drive Fund go straight to program or equipment costs at Saint John's.  No portion is used for administration costs of the Guild as they are covered by our individual membership dues.​
