To the communities we serve,
At TMC Health, we talk about existing only to serve you — and to always put you first. Within the pages of this annual report, we share just how we do that every day from Marana to Nogales, from Ajo to Willcox, and beyond.
TMC Health is a nonprofit, independent health system serving Southern Arizona and beyond. From our two critical access hospitals in Cochise County to our growing primary and specialty provider group to Tucson Medical Center, the high-acuity hub that accepts referrals from throughout the state, we are committed to providing exceptional health care with compassion.

What does it mean to be a nonprofit health system? It means that in lieu of paying taxes, we give back to the community by caring for people regardless of their ability to pay; supporting government and community programs that cover the most vulnerable; and investing in community education, research and programs that address the top health needs in the communities we serve.
In this report, you will learn how TMC Health supports the following:
• Training future physicians through the TMC Health Medical Education Program.
• Helping children and families remain safe by providing bike helmets, booster seats, and water safety programs.
• Promoting LGBTQ+ diversity and inclusion in our community, our workplace and for the patients we serve.
• Engaging seniors in educational and social activities to create valuable social connectivity and information to promote healthy aging.
• Investing in mental health services for seniors at Northern Cochise Community Hospital.
• Collaborating between Benson Hospital and TMC to create an innovative tele-cardiac rehab program, bringing this valuable service closer to the people of Cochise County.
We do this work because it’s our mission. We produce this report because it’s our commitment to be transparent about how we earn our “nonprofit” designation.
Every day, every way, we put You First.
Sincerely,
Judy Rich President & CEO TMC Health
You First
For nearly 80 years, Tucson Medical Center and TMC Health have been committed to providing exceptional health care with compassion. As one of the largest community hospitals in the country, we take that responsibility seriously. Since the beginning, we’ve understood it’s more than just caring for you when you’re in the hospital. It’s giving you the tools to care for you and your family when you’re out of the hospital, too.

As we’ve grown, we’ve put you first in every decision we’ve made. Our system of care now includes these trusted brands:
Tucson Medical Center was voted U.S. News & World Report’s Best Hospital for the second straight year in 2022. TMC is Southern Arizona’s leading provider for emergency care and pediatric care (including Tucson’s first Pediatric Emergency Department), with intensive care units for adults, children and newborns. Other specialty areas include women’s, maternity, cardiac, orthopedic, neurosurgery, hospice, surgical and vascular care.
TMCOne is the area’s fastest growing network of clinics providing family and specialty care, with more than 17 clinics, 100 providers, and two urgent cares serving the community.
Benson Hospital and Northern Cochise Community Hospital serve our neighbors in Southeastern Arizona with the same commitment to quality care.
Rincon Health Campus in southeast Tucson includes the new Tucson Medical Center Rincon, a state-of-the-art facility currently under construction. With plans to be open in early 2024, it will be the latest addition to TMC Health’s growing network.
Even though much has changed through the years, our values remain the same as those embraced by the community almost 80 years ago.
Strategic alliances putting you first
TMC Health seeks out strategic partnerships with top providers in our community as we strive to put our patients and our community first. In 2022, TMC Health partnered with Select Medical, Community Health Systems and Arizona Urology Specialists. They joined a roster of strategic partners that encourage collaboration and a pursuit of excellence.
These partnerships extend the reach of TMC Health throughout Southern Arizona, helping to ensure quality and specialized care is available close to home for all members of our community.
