Banner - University Medicine Tucson

A destination for living deserves to be a destination for health

We envision a healthier future for our Southern Arizona communities, where every individual — regardless of their background — can access coordinated, world-class medical care provided by a deep bench of internationally renowned experts. We will build upon our tradition of excellence in medicine, and work in close partnership with the Tucson community, to transform the landscape of health care in this region. Our intention is clear — to ensure that everyone can access the highest quality, coordinated care, with no one left behind due to financial limitations or other barriers.

Focal Points for the Future

CARE
Together, we will build the highest quality clinical care and community health programs in Southern Arizona to serve our diverse communities and those who travel here for world-class care.

INNOVATION
We will pioneer and scale vital solutions, deliver care in state-of-the-art medical facilities outfitted with the most advanced technology, and drive new ventures that improve access to and quality of care for everyone in our communities.

TALENT
We will attract top talent to practice medicine in Southern Arizona, building a world-class clinical team while helping young people explore careers in health care to build the talent pipeline. We will cultivate a working environment that prioritizes the mental and physical well-being of our providers, empowering them to deliver the highest standard of care for their patients.

Strategic Growth Initiatives

Within our primary focal areas, we will invest in six key areas that are fundamental to the future of world-class care. Each is essential to our quality of life — and represents an area of growing patient demand for services. The campaign will fuel growth and innovation in Southern Arizona in the areas of:

• Expanding Access to Care
• Neurosciences
• Cardiovascular
• Orthopedics & Sports Medicine
• Pediatrics
• Cancer
• Workforce Development

Banner is making significant investments to scale these key programs and create destination centers for highly specialized care in Southern Arizona. We invite our community to join us in creating the health care system that Tucson deserves — where patients can easily access compassionate, world-class primary and specialty care close to home, in state-of-the-art medical facilities outfitted with the latest technology, with support and coordination throughout their experience.
