As a nonprofit, Banner Health exists to provide health care services to the communities we serve, rather than generate profits. That means that every dollar we earn is reinvested into: New hospital beds, new or expanding patient care services, new physician services, new technologies, maintaining existing equipment and facilities, and aying employees salaries. Banner also provides more than $153 million in charity care through our Financial Assistance Program. In addition, we subsidize the medical education costs for hundreds of medical residents (physicians in training), the majority of whom will stay in Arizona and Colorado, where they trained.Additionally, Banner provides important, free services like the Banner Poison and Drug Information Center Hotline, health information provided by registered nurses through our Banner Health Call Center, and school-based health centers for kids in economically challenged areas.

I provide my patients with the best possible care in family medicine.

I believe in offering patient-centered care. My role in a patient's cancer journey is to understand a patient's goals and offer the best possible treatment options to achieve these goals. I strive to give patients the time they need to feel comfortable with their diagnosis and treatment options.I am committed to a wholistic approach to cancer care. I work closely with the multi-disciplinary cancer team to support patients through their cancer journey and to provide high-quality, compassionate, and thoughtful care.
