Banner Health invested $1.1 billion into the communities it serves, according to a report released March 31.
Banner Health —one of the nation’s largest nonprofit, fully integrated health systems — delivers advanced care from neonatal services to heart transplants, primary care to behavioral health, while managing Medicare Advantage, Medicaid and commercial insurance for more than 1 million members. Banner also conducts research in cancer, neurosciences, cardiac and orthopedic care, and trains more than 1,300 physicians annually, all working together under one mission-driven system, according to a press release.
Beyond traditional care delivery, Banner provided prevention and early detection services. Through the Banner–University Medicaid program offering financial incentives for preventive screenings, Banner increased colorectal cancer screenings by 114% and blood pressure checks by more than 1,100% year-over-year among Medicaid members. Well-child visits in rural Arizona counties increased 34% year-over-year, with the greatest gains among historically hard-to-reach adolescent populations.
