About Banner Health

Making health care easier, so life can be better. 

Rated one of the top nonprofit hospitals in the U.S.

Banner Health is one of the nation's largest nonprofit health systems, serving communities across six states with 33 hospital locations, more than 400 outpatient sites, health insurance plans and nearly 60,000 team members. We don’t answer to shareholders. We answer to our neighbors, families and the patients we serve every day.

What makes us different?

We're fully integrated. We deliver advanced care, manage insurance for more than 1 million members, conduct groundbreaking research and train the next generation of physicians, all working together under one mission driven system. This integration means easier access, better coordinated care, more affordable costs and health issues addressed early before they become serious.

As Arizona's largest health care provider and the state's largest private employer, Banner supports 140,000 jobs and generates an estimated $12 billion in annual economic impact across the regions we serve.

From routine checkups to treating the most complex diagnoses, from prevention programs to world-class specialty services at Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center, Banner Alzheimer's Institute, and Banner – University Medicine, we're proving that exceptional quality and affordability can coexist.

We're not just building a better health system. We're building a model for the future of American medicine that's rooted in the communities we call home. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona and serving Arizona, California, Colorado, Nebraska, Nevada and Wyoming.

How we reinvest in patient care and our communities

We operate hospitals in underserved communities because it's the right thing to do. We invest in prevention programs that keep communities healthier for generations because it's what patients deserve. This is what nonprofit health care looks like and it's what allows us to be a good neighbor,
not just a good health system.
