Titan Solar Power commits $500,000 to Phoenix Children’s
Titan Solar Power, the nation’s leading rooftop solar contractor, has committed $500,000 over the course of three years for Phoenix Children’s. Titan Solar Power partners with like-minded solar sales companies and dealers to deliver world-class installations with industry-leading customer experience. Titan Solar Power is committed to family centered focused programs. The pledge is specifically allotted for Phoenix Children’s Life Clinic at Fetal Care Center. The funds allowed the clinic to recently hire two Care Coordinators that help facilitate fetal care between doctors and families.
“At Titan, we strive to provide exceptional experiences, not only to our customers but to our community,” said Titan Solar Chief Financial Officer, Kyle Beddome. “Partnering with Phoenix Children’s over the years has gifted us with the ability to bless others in a way that exceeds even our expectations.”
Thanks to Titan Solar Power’s sponsorship, the clinic offers services and a dedicated staff provided by the Life Clinic to families since insurance companies don’t pay for care coordination. The Fetal Care Center specializes in providing families with a seamless transition from prenatal to postnatal care, arranging everything from advanced fetal imaging to appointments with specialists. The Life Clinic’s team tackles tasks such as doctor referrals, insurance authorizations and medical supply orders. Parents can call the team for help with challenges big and small, or even just to talk.
Withey Morris launches ‘Dirt to Development’ podcast
What do you get when you combine people plus politics plus development plus drama in Arizona? You get a unique, informative and entertaining podcast called “Dirt to Development.” The podcast, co-hosted by Withey Morris partners Adam Baugh and Jason Morris, provides a behind-the-scenes look at some of the biggest developments in Arizona – along with the people, politics, developers and neighbors that make it all happen. Listeners will hear insane stories and insights from industry experts, local developers and intriguing community personalities. After years of sharing these hilarious and irreverent stories over dinners and drinks, it’s time for Arizona to hear its own story told by those who build it.
“When you think of how development occurs, there are a lot of ingredients that go into developing a building site and different components and people have to come together to pull it off,” said Baugh. “Every shopping center, every community development has a story behind it. Many people don’t realize what goes into taking a cornfield to a master-planned community or taking an old infill property to an adaptive reuse in Arizona. These are the stories we want to tell.”
