(19,250 posts)90. There is the Honor Health system.
I had an emergency appendectomy during Covid a few years back, went to Honor Health John C. Lincoln. Great place, really friendly staff and good food. I like that its smaller. There are 5 Honor Health hospitals in Maricopa County I think. There is also Mayo and some independent hospitals like Cancer TX centers.
I had one other hospital option for my ESD procedure but it was in north Scottsdale, so I went to Good Sam (banner university phx), which is what me and my wife will always call it, lol. It's changed names but its a good teaching hospital.
One i would avoid is Abrazo (used to be phx baptist) on 19th and Bethany.

The French have the right idea. Steve Miller should be the first one on the lamp post.

It's predatory, exclusive and corporate driven for profit. Profit. Remember when BC/BS was non-profit?? I do.
