Lincoln Health Network and Scottsdale Healthcare.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Alltucker |first=Ken |title=HonorHealth is new name of Scottsdale Lincoln Health Network |url=https://www.azcentral.com/story/money/business/2015/03/30/scottsdale-lincoln-health-network-renamed-honorhealth/70704144/ |access-date=2025-01-01 |website=The Arizona Republic |language=en-US}}</ref>
=== John C. Lincoln Health Network === In the 1920's, Arizona became a destination for people all over the United States looking for a cure for their respiratory illnesses, namely tuberculosis. Some migrants, or lungers as they were sometimes referred to, and families camped in the desert north of Phoenix (now Sunnyslope) with little money to spare. In 1927, Desert Mission formed to assist with food and medical needs.<ref>{{Cite web |title=About Us |url=https://www.desertmission.com/about/ |access-date=2025-01-01 |website=HonorHealth Desert Mission |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Brief History of Sunnyslope – Sunnyslope Historical Society & Museum |url=https://sunnyslopehistoricalsociety.org/brief-history-of-sunnyslope/ |access-date=2025-01-01 |website=sunnyslopehistoricalsociety.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-05-23 |title=Sunnyslope Owes Its Townhood to Tuberculosis |url=https://www.phoenixmag.com/2019/05/23/sunnyslope-owes-its-townhood-to-tuberculosis/ |access-date=2025-01-01 |website=PHOENIX magazine |language=en-US}}</ref>
In 1931, John C. Lincoln and his wife Helen, like many others, headed west in hopes of curing Helen's tuberculosis. They stayed in Phoenix, Helen recovered, and the two became actively involved in Desert Mission's work and its expansion into the area's first medical clinic and emergency station. Eventually, a hospital — Desert Mission Convalescent Hospital — was built at Dunlap and Central avenues. Lincoln, a primary financial supporter of the hospital, was honored in 1954 when the hospital was renamed John C. Lincoln North Mountain Hospital.
John C. Lincoln Medical Center still sits in the hospitals original location in Sunnyslope. The Lincoln family remains actively involved in HonorHealth, supporting initiatives and offering guidance.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-09-12 |title=Did You Know: Sunnyslope Was Once An Area For The Sick |url=https://www.kjzz.org/2014-09-12/content-45139-did-you-know-phoenixs-sunnyslope-was-once-place-sick |access-date=2025-01-01 |website=KJZZ |language=en}}</ref> In 1997, John C.
