Chad M. Rohlfs is Chief Development Officer for Banner Health Foundation, Tucson. With more than 25 years of development experience, Rohlfs has successfully led capital campaigns, managed and motivated employees and volunteer boards, and launched grateful patient philanthropic programs in four healthcare institutions.  

 Mr. Rohlfs is a native Iowan and a graduate of the University of Northern Iowa.  He began his career in fundraising at the young age of five while going door-to-door in his hometown asking for donations to a residential care facility that housed his mentally challenged aunt.  Rohlfs was this charity’s top youth fundraiser throughout his adolescent years and says he knew from that time that development simply was a part of his DNA. 

 Prior to joining Banner, Rohlfs led development efforts for Iowa Health System, Meriter Hospital and Sanford Health Foundation.  In addition to his healthcare experience, he also served in higher education development at the University of Illinois, and most recently as the Chief Development Officer for the Purdue College of Veterinary Medicine.  In this role he led his team to the successful completion of the Ever True Campaign, yielding a result of $54 million in dollars raised, exceeding his goal of $40 million for the College of Veterinary Medicine.

About Banner Hospital

The Phoenix-based Banner Alzheimer’s Institute, known internationally as a leader in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, is building a multidisciplinary memory and research center in Tucson’s Catalina Foothills. 

The 10,000-square-foot facility, which is set to open in the spring of 2020, will be named the Toole Family Memory Center at Banner Alzheimer’s Institute in Tucson. The institute was scheduled to break ground on the project Friday, June 28. 

It will be located at the southeast corner of North Hacienda del Sol and East River roads, east of North Campbell Avenue. 

The Toole family lives in Tucson and donated $5 million to the Banner Alzheimer’s Foundation to bring the institute to Southern Arizona, officials said. 

The center will provide outpatient services related to the evaluation, diagnosis and medical management of both cognitive and non-cognitive behavior problems, according to the release. The center will also offer clinical trials where patients can learn about and gain access to promising investigational treatments and research. 

The number of people living with Alzheimer’s in Arizona is expected to grow by 43% over the next seven years, the national Alzheimer’s Association says. 

Among other findings in the association’s 2018 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report: 

  • An estimated 5.7 million Americans have Alzheimer’s dementia, including 140,000 in Arizona. 
  • By 2025, the number of people ages 65 and older with Alzheimer’s dementia is estimated to reach 7.1 million. In Arizona, the number of individuals with Alzheimer’s is predicted to be 200,000. 
  • The burden on Alzheimer’s caregivers continues to grow. In 2017, more than 16 million Americans provided about 18.4 billion hours of unpaid care in the form of physical, emotional and financial support — a contribution valued at $232.1 billion. In Arizona, 330,000 caregivers provided 376 million hours of unpaid care, valued at $4.7 billion.
