PHOENIX (April 22, 2025) - Banner Health has once again earned national recognition as one of America’s most trusted and innovative organizations, appearing on two annual lists: Newsweek’s Most Trustworthy Companies in America, and Fortune’s Most Innovative Companies.
This marks Banner Health’s second straight year being recognized by Newsweek (2024, 2025) for trustworthiness, and its third consecutive appearance on the Fortune innovation list (2023, 2024, 2025).
“Banner’s vision is to be the most trusted health partner for our dedicated teams, outstanding physicians, and the wonderful communities we serve. We are investing in access, affordability, and innovation to make health care easier so life can be better,” said Banner Health President and CEO Amy Perry. “It is especially rewarding to receive this recognition for consecutive years because trust and innovation are at the heart of Banner’s culture.”
Banner is a High Reliability Organization and uses a framework built around the word TRUST to reinforce our commitment to quality care (Think ahead, Rebound fast, Understand everything, Seek advice, Tackle it together) that guides employees through daily interactions and critical decisions. These efforts are paying off, with rising health care quality scores, improved patient satisfaction, and industry-leading patient safety.
To advance health care innovation, Banner is investing more than $1 billion in new technologies, data and digital platforms to improve patient access and health outcomes. These investments are focused on improving patient-provider interactions using new applications of artificial intelligence (AI). Additionally, more than 1,300 clinical trials available to Banner patients, offering new therapies to patients that have the potential to change the future of health care delivery. One example: ground-breaking work at Banner Alzheimer’s Institute and Banner Sun Health Research Institute that could lead to prevention therapies for Alzheimer’s disease by 2029.
