Abrazo Community Health

What Abrazo Community Health does

Abrazo Health is a for-profit healthcare delivery network serving the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, operating as a subsidiary of TH Medical under publicly traded Tenet Healthcare Corporation (Dallas, TX). The network comprises six acute-care hospitals (Abrazo Arizona Heart Hospital, Arrowhead, Central, Scottsdale, Surprise, and West Campus — the last designated as a Level I Trauma Center), four freestanding neighborhood emergency centers (Buckeye, Cave Creek, Peoria, plus a fourth), and 18–20 outpatient clinic locations supported by 120+ employed physicians and practitioners across primary care and specialty practices. Its service portfolio spans cardiovascular care, neuroscience and brain/spine, orthopedics (including robotic-assisted surgery via the Mako 4 SmartRobotics system), medical and surgical weight loss (MBSAQIP-accredited bariatrics), obstetrics with Level III NICUs, and 24/7 emergency care.

The underlying technology stack combines clinical capital equipment — Mako 4 SmartRobotics for total/partial knee, hip, and shoulder arthroplasty; advanced imaging (MRI, PET/CT, CT); the AGENT Drug-Coated Balloon for coronary intervention; and Bioness Vector for rehabilitation — with patient-facing digital tools including an Athenahealth-powered patient portal, online ER check-in scheduling, free online health assessments, and price-transparency/shoppable services listings. Supporting operations is a Graduate Medical Education program that in 2026 produced its largest-ever graduating class of 38 physicians and fellows across Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Cardiology, Infectious Disease, and Vascular Surgery, in partnership with Midwestern University.

Abrazo generates revenue through standard fee-for-service hospital billing across its facilities, with payments sourced from commercial insurers (e.g., Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, Aetna, Optum), Medicare, Medicaid (including Banner/AHCCCS), and self-pay patients, supported by financial counselors, payment plans, and a Compact with Uninsured Patients financial assistance program. Distribution is direct through the physical facility network and the Arizona Care Network (a physician-led coordinated-care partnership), with brand visibility amplified by serving as team physicians for the Arizona Cardinals, Arizona Diamondbacks, Phoenix Rising FC, and other professional franchises. Go-to-market is sales-led via physician referrals, the Abrazo Transfer Center for acute patient transfers, online scheduling, and emergency walk-ins.
