Banner – University Medicine Tucson had 90 physicians who made the list this year. The list begins on page 67.

Banner Health included a three-page ad (beginning on page 93 with a two-page spread on pages 93-94) recognizing the 10th anniversary of the merger between the University of Arizona Health Network with Banner Health to become Banner’s academic division known as Banner – University Medicine.
