Tucson Medical Center has been providing continuous service to Southern Arizona from the day it admitted its first patient in 1944. TMC’s roots extend back to the 1920s, when the internationally known Desert Sanatorium began operating as a tuberculosis treatment center and health retreat. As one of the major hospitals in Tucson today, it’s important to know how it is moving into the future and providing the services our community needs, especially in the Southeast part of Tucson.
Julia Strange and Heather Beck will explain how TMC will be investing and developing new ways to meet our needs in the Rincon area including reimagined emergency services, a surgery center, and growth to TMCOne. Eastside residents will see the advantages of using TMCOne for all of their medical needs as current programs are expanded and updated, and new programs are developed in the next several years.
