Sage Foundation for Health

Sage Foundation for Health provides funding to 7 free community clinics throughout Maricopa County which are staffed with students and physicians from Sonoran University's College of Naturopathic Medicine. Patients include families in low-income school districts, survivors of domestic violence, patients recovering from homelessness, trauma, and substance use, and individuals seeking LGBTQ+ care.

Our teams treat chronic and acute health conditions by working with the patients to restore health and improve self-care choices through daily diet, exercise, and stress reduction treatment plans. These shifts give Sonoran University students a unique opportunity to provide treatment and gain skills and experience in a community healthcare setting and enhance their cultural competence working with a diverse patient population. Treatments often include clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, physical medicine, acupuncture, homeopathy, and prescription medicines when necessary. Thanks to generous community support, services and treatments are provided to patients at no cost.

Donations to Sage Foundation for Health qualify for the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit, which means any Arizona taxpayer can receive a dollar-for-dollar credit on their state taxes, equal to their gift to Sage.

2026 Tax Credit maximum amounts: $506 for single, married filing separate or head of household or $1,009 for married filing jointly.

Testimonials

“I have noticed at other clinics I feel like a number but here, I am an individual. I appreciate the explanations of my diagnosis and how to use preventative measures to help in the future. I love coming here and have recommended the clinic to my coworkers and friends.” - S.W., Roosevelt Health Center patient

“When you tell a patient that they’re coming in for completely free care…the way that they light up and the gratitude in their hearts completely changes everything." - Ella, a 3rd year Sonoran University student
