                      Northwest Healthcare is a Cornerstone of Wellness and Economic Health in Pima County

                      5/16/2023

                      TUCSON, AZ – (May 15, 2023) At Northwest Healthcare, the skilled, compassionate hands of physicians, nurses and other team members support the health and well-being of patients who seek us out for expert care. We are here, whenever needed, to help people get well and live healthier.

                      In 2022, we had 802,500 patient encounters – including 122,500 ER visits; 22,800 inpatient admissions; 44,200 surgeries; 611,300 outpatient visits; and 1,700 births.

                      We’re proud of the breadth and depth of our services. A few highlights:

                      • We opened the 52-bed Northwest Medical Center Houghton as a strategic part of our commitment to provide patients and families on Tucson’s East side with quality primary, specialty, and diagnostic care close to home.
                      • We partnered with Arizona Urology Specialists and others to create the new Tucson Urologic Surgery Center.
                      • Robust robotic surgical programs that raise the standard of care for general surgery, gynecology, orthopedic surgery, thoracic surgery and urology.
                      • A distinguished cardiovascular program, including a structural heart team and a cardiac surgery team at Northwest Medical Center.
                      • Cancer care – including breast; colorectal; gynecologic; and thoracic surgery.
                      • A robust Pulmonary program, which includes interventional pulmonology and thoracic surgery. We are able to diagnose and treat – or remove – lung tumors at a much earlier stage, which can lead to better patient outcomes.
                      • A bariatric surgery program at Northwest Medical Center that continues to give patients a new outlook on life.
                      • The Women’s Center at Northwest supports new moms and babies, including those born early or in need of extra care. The Center recently added an AI-based maternal/fetal early warning system to monitor vital data throughout labor and delivery, so our maternity team can quickly recognize, prevent and respond to potential complications.
                      • Inpatient and outpatient behavioral health services at Oro Valley Hospital provide essential mental health support to the community.
                      • Northwest Medical Center Sahuarita celebrated two years of serving and delivering outstanding care to patients, families, and visitors.
                      • Our newly opened inpatient rehabilitation facility, Northwest Transitions; and our skilled nursing unit at Oro Valley Hospital, continued to grow and thrive.

                      In addition to providing expanded and enhanced medical care close to home, we are proud to be a strong contributor to our local community’s economic health. By employing thousands of people, paying taxes, and using local businesses for projects, we made an overall financial impact of $613.2 million in 2022.

                      That number includes $65.4 million in charity and uncompensated care for the most vulnerable patients; $50.8 million in property, sales, and GRT taxes which support community resources and services; and $291.6 million in payroll.

                      Finally, we grew and supported our incredible team. We recruited more than 40 new physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, and continued to provide pathways to success for everyone who wears our badge. Our enhanced benefits (including student loan repayment assistance and licensure, certification, and tuition expense reimbursement) help employees reach their personal and professional goals.

                      We’re also committed to doing our part to address the shortage of medical professionals in Pima County, thanks to our partnership with Jersey College of Nursing and our new graduate medical education program, which will train internal medicine and family medicine resident physicians.

                      In 2023, Northwest Healthcare is continuing to thrive. We are grateful for the trust every patient places in us – and for the support and encouragement our community has offered us throughout the last year.

                      To your health, and to the future –
