Not only are we backed by the latest in medical technology at Tucson Medical Center, we hold the belief that healing and caring involves more than medical care.
Studies show that patients actually heal more quickly when they have contact with nature.
Patients can experience a healing environment of beautiful, water-conserving desert landscapes in our hummingbird patio which was completed in 1997. And, we have partnered with the world-famous Arizona Sonora Desert Museum to develop a landscaping program that will attract varieties of birds, lizards and butterflies to 28 patios. For half a century, TMC's board has chosen to maintain a one-story design for the patient care area. Our 300 acres of desert landscaped grounds also serve as home to the Tucson Orthopaedic Institute, the Cancer Care Center of Southern Arizona and the Children's Clinics for Rehabilitative Services. In the 1990s, we earned numerous awards, including having been named one of the only 120 Quality Leaders by National Research Corp. two years in a row.
