Banner – Unversity Medicine Annual Report
2023 Annual Report Stories of innovation, discovery, and teamwork were the highlights of the year in 2023, and I am excited to share them with you here. Though uncertainty remained surrounding COVID-19, our teams were resilient and never wavered to provide the best care for our patients and community. We continued to be agile - adapting to the many challenges that came our way. We moved with purpose to serve those who depend upon us most and we had some fun along the way. Creating, enhancing, and maintaining partnerships continues to be a top priority for Banner – University Medicine in Southern Arizona. Our commitment to this community has never been stronger nor more prominent as we joined our community by gathering and supporting beloved organizations like the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Ronald McDonald House, the American Heart Association and El Tour de Tucson, to name a few. In addition, our partnership with the University of Arizona and the College of Medicine Tucson remains strong and collaborative. Our dedication to finding health care workforce shortage solutions led us to meaningful collaborations and direct employment pathways with organizations like Pima Joint Technical Education District (JTED), Pima Community College, and Kino College. We hosted the second annual Diamond Children’s prom night with more than 50 teenage patients. They had a night to remember in the Arizona football facility where they experienced this rite of passage in a safe environment. We expanded our clinical operations to include additional ambulatory clinics, primary care offices and a cardiovascular surgery center. We made healthcare more accessible and convenient by continuing to offer telehealth appointments, which went from 0 in 2019, to 70,755 by the end of 2023. Our vision to provide highly specialized burn care within our community became a reality as our Burn Program officially expanded, allowing us to care for wound patients while providing the ability to receive care and heal locally, without having to travel outside of Tucson. The stories of healing were powerful. You will read more about patients who defied the odds and inspired others to give back.
