Improving Healthcare in Maricopa County

Healthy communities are made up of healthy individuals who have access to state-of-the-art clinical care and physicians at the forefront of medical research. The Piper Trust supports programs that strengthen healthcare and introduce best practices, especially for at-risk populations and at critical life stages – early childhood, youth and older adulthood. The Trust also supports ongoing endeavors to propel bioscience in Arizona to national prominence.
