Hospitals in Arizona

Hospital Infrastructure in Arizona

Arizona's hospital system serves one of the fastest-growing populations in the United States, with the Phoenix metropolitan area driving much of the demand for expanded healthcare capacity. The state's 83 hospitals include nationally recognized institutions such as the Mayo Clinic's Phoenix campus and the Banner Health system, which operates the largest network of facilities in the state. Banner University Medical Center Phoenix serves as the primary teaching hospital for the University of Arizona College of Medicine and is a Level I trauma center. St. Joseph's Hospital houses the renowned Barrow Neurological Institute, a world leader in neurosurgical care. Arizona's trauma system is well-developed with 14 designated trauma centers. The state faces challenges in providing care to rural and tribal communities, particularly on the Navajo Nation and other reservations. Phoenix Children's Hospital is the state's only dedicated pediatric facility. Rapid population growth in the Sun Corridor has spurred significant hospital construction and expansion projects across Maricopa and Pima counties.
