Banner – UMC Tucson was named number one in Tucson, number three in all of Arizona and ranked nationally in three specialties: number 36 for gynecology, 49th for pulmonology and 50th for nephrology.
“We are honored that U.S. News has recognized the hard work and dedication of our caregivers, educators and researchers at Banner – University Medical Center Tucson. Our team’s continuing commitment to our patients and our community is unparalleled,” said Sarah Frost, interim CEO of Banner – University Medical Center Tucson.

Banner – UMC Phoenix ranked number two nationally, and placed among the best in five categories including geriatrics, pulmonology, nephrology, cardiology and heart surgery, and neurology and neurosurgery.

Cleveland Clinic ranked #2 nationally, not Banner Phoenix. Mayo in Phoenix ranked #11. I didnt see any Banner hospital in the top 20. Use the actual rankings, not a Banner press release to write the story next time.

Mayo Clinin does not serve the poor. UMC has to take many indigent, uninsured, and yes, illegal immigrants.
