Banner’s integrated model positions the Phoenix-based system as a national leader in value-based care and managing the health of entire populations.

"This recognition reflects Banner Health's commitment to reimagining healthcare," Perry said. "Our system spans rural and urban communities, hospitals and clinics, medical practices and insurance, academic medicine and community health. This allows us to meet all our patients' needs. We've built a model that combines exceptional care, technology, financial strength, and a people-first culture, all while honoring our nonprofit mission to serve our communities."

Banner Health's "One Team" approach has fostered an exceptional workplace culture, with 84% of team members reporting overall satisfaction. The organization’s consecutive Great Place to Work certifications, affirm that innovation and employee wellbeing can thrive and strengthen one another.
