About Tipirneni:

Dr. Hiral Tipirneni has served the Phoenix area for more than 20 years as an emergency room physician, cancer research advocate and, most recently, on the board of directors of the Maricopa Health Foundation, which supports the county’s public health care delivery system. 

Tipirneni came to America from India with her family at the age of three. Following a childhood illness, she was inspired to learn more about medicine and, after graduating from public school, she eventually earned her medical degree through an accelerated, competitive program at Northeast Ohio Medical University. She chose to pursue emergency medicine.

Tipirneni met her husband, Dr. Kishore Tipirneni, during her first year of medical school. After she served as chief resident of the University of Michigan’s Emergency Medicine program, they moved to Phoenix. 

She began working in the emergency department at Banner Good Samaritan. She went on to serve in emergency departments at the Maricopa County Medical Center, Banner Thunderbird, and Abrazo Arrowhead hospitals – all while raising their three children in the Arrowhead community. 

She initiated and was the lead organizer for a TEDx event about effecting positive change in the Northwest Valley. She also serves on a number of non-profit boards of directors.
