The Tucson region boasts some of the most sophisticated healthcare available, including seven primary-care hospitals and two major specialty hospitals, Tucson Heart Hospital and Southern Arizona Veterans Administration Medical Center.
Carondelet Health Network (CHN) is Southern Arizona's oldest and largest non-profit healthcare provider, serving a four-county region of 1.3 million people. CHN hospitals include: St. Mary's Hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital, Holy Cross Hospital, and Tucson Heart Hospital.
In 2010 the University of Arizona Health Network was formed and combined University Medical Center and University Physicians Healthcare, in partnership with the UA College of Medicine. The University of Arizona Health Network brings together two academic hospitals and their affiliated clinics, as well as a health plan division and the medical practice of physicians from the UA College of Medicine, under a name that reflects the organization’s commitment to academic medicine. University Medical Center has been renamed The University of Arizona Medical Center (University Campus) and University Physicians Hospital has been renamed The University of Arizona Medical Center (South Campus).
The campus includes a Level One Trauma Center that serves Arizona and New Mexico. When still known as UMC in 2009, the UAMC was named one of the 10 best hospitals in the country by Becker's Hospital Review in 2009. In 2010 the Diamond Children's Medical Center began serving families in the region. The Diamond Center unites the exceptional pediatric resources of UAMC with those of The University of Arizona Steele Children's Research Center to provide advanced health care for children and their families.

The $57 million, 200,000+ square foot facility includes an expanded emergency room, a Pima County Superior Court courtroom for mental-health hearings, 48 acute-level psychiatric beds, an outpatient psychiatric clinic and two helipads.
