PHOENIX (Feb. 10, 2026) – As Arizona commemorates America’s 250th anniversary, Banner Health is proud to serve as presenting sponsor of Arizona America250 – a commemoration and celebration of America’s founding. This month kicks-off the Road to 250: Arizona Traveling Museum, a mobile exhibition in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, bringing history, storytelling, and civic reflection directly to local communities.
The Road to 250: Arizona Traveling Museum blends national history with Arizona’s unique story through immersive panels, a short looping video experience, and interactive activations for all ages. In addition to exploring defining moments in Arizona’s history, the centerpiece of the traveling museum is a replica of the Liberty Bell, one of a limited number located across the country.
“Banner Health is proud to celebrate the resilience of the United States as the presenting sponsor of Arizona America250—a strength built through service, perseverance, and care for one another,” said Amy Perry, president and chief executive officer of Banner Health. “Our nearly 60,000 Banner team members reflects that same enduring spirit, showing up every day with compassion and dedication to care for people across Arizona.”
"I am incredibly grateful for the partnership with Banner Health on this project," Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said. "Arizona's Traveling Museum tells the unique story of our state. That story and this moment would not be possible without the investment from our partners in the business community. Our state and this celebration are made stronger when industry leaders just like Banner invest where it matters most."
While the Road to 250: Arizona Traveling Museum will make dozens of stops statewide, Banner is partnering with the following locations to provide in-person health information, giveaways and a commemorative AZ250 digital photo from Feb. 20 through April 2.
