For online donations, please complete below form.   To donate with a credit card by phone, please call 310.829.8424 and reference Irene Dunne Guild Patron Drive.  ​Visit Saint John's Health Center Foundation for more ways to give. 

​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.​​

How Does the Guild Use Donations?

​Our Resource Allocation Committee reviews requests from departments in the Health Center to fund vital projects.  We are able to allocate funds that directly enhance delivery of care or the patient experience.​

What Impact Can Donations Have?

They could help us fund upgraded equipment like the Accuvein devices we gifted to help nurses easily pinpoint the best location for blood draws.  You or a loved one could directly benefit if admitted at Saint John's!​
