Regarded and recognized as a top health system in the country for the clinical quality consistently provided to patients in our hospitals, nonprofit Banner Health is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, and operates 33 hospitals, including three academic medical centers and other related health entities and services in six states.
Since 1999, our patients, employees and larger communities have worked together to change lives. Learn more from our 20th anniversary report.
