Banner Health

Banner Health is a major non-profit healthcare system headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. Founded in 1999 from a merger of Samaritan Health System and Lutheran Health Systems, it has grown to become one of the largest employers in Arizona and one of the biggest non-profit health systems in the United States. The system provides a wide range of services, from routine primary and urgent care to specialized services in areas like cancer treatment through its partnership with MD Anderson Cancer Center, academic medicine, and advanced cardiovascular and neurological care.

Banner Health operates numerous hospitals, health centers, and clinics across multiple states, including Arizona, California, Colorado, Nebraska, Nevada, and Wyoming.

Since July 2021, Banner Health operates its own hospital-based air ambulance service called BannerAir. This service provides critical and lifesaving air medical transport across Arizona, operating 24/7 in partnership with Med-Trans Corporation, where Banner provides the clinical staff and Med-Trans supplies the pilots and mechanics. The service has multiple bases located throughout Arizona to ensure timely responses, including in the Valley, Rim Country, and at Banner Casa Grande Medical Center, Banner Del Webb Medical Center, and Banner Payson Medical Center.
