Our commitment to philanthropy.
At Orchard Medical Consulting, we know the true definition of SUCCESS…
To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children…to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. That is to have succeeded.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

February 2009 – Robin teaches business workshop benefitting Fresh Start for Women Robin Orchard is a volunteer instructor for Fresh Start Women’s Foundation, an Arizona-based non-profit dedicated to educating women who have faced personal and professional hardships. Fresh Start helps women help themselves by teaching them about self-esteem enhancement, career building tools, mentorship resources, and personal development services.
In February of 2009, Robin taught a Saturday course on “How to Start A Business From Scratch” to thirty young women who described her presentation as “encouraging” and “very helpful!” Robin also donated scholarships for five women to attend Fresh Start workshops free of charge in 2008.
In December of 2008, OMC employees participated in a new toy donation. To the annual Staff Holiday Party, Orchard nurses, marketers, managers, and office staff brought brand new toys (ranging from infant age to young adults) to our corporate office in Phoenix. The management team delivered three large trash bags and many boxes full of games, figurines, books, and gift cards, which benefitted the families of children who spent the holidays in the hospital, just in time for Christmas!
Orchard Medical Consulting is committed to aiding the underprivileged; we are specifically passionate about helping children who have been affected by catastrophically injured parents.
Robin Orchard and Erin Finn serve as active board members for Kids’ Chance of Arizona, a non-profit organization which provides college scholarships to children of workers killed or seriously injured on the job.
Ms. Orchard has raised over $60,000 in scholarships by organizing three annual 5K Walk/Runs for Kids’ Chance.

In June of 2008, she coordinated the first annual Orchard Summer Water Drive and donated over 100 cases of water bottles to the Central Arizona Shelter Services in Phoenix.
Orchard’s Nevada team also coordinated the Las Vegas Water Drive, delivering 80 cases of water bottles to Shade Tree Women’s Shelter, which provides resources to local homeless and abused women and their children.
In September of 2008, Orchard Medical held a bake sale at its corporate location in Phoenix to raise funds for victims devastated by Hurricane Ike.
We were able to raise $3,000 and send checks to two Houston families whose homes were in shambles, in order to help them cover insurance co-pays during such a difficult time.
Every year, Orchard Medical Consulting’s Phoenix employees participate in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 5K Walk/Run.
