Carondelet Health Network

What Carondelet Health Network does

Carondelet Health Network is an integrated regional healthcare delivery system serving Southern Arizona, anchored in Tucson and extending to Nogales. Founded in 1880 as Arizona's first hospital by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, the network today operates three acute care hospitals (St. Mary's, St. Joseph's, and Holy Cross), two 24/7 neighborhood emergency centers (Marana and St. Raphael's), two specialty institutes (Carondelet Heart & Vascular Institute and Carondelet Neurological Institute), and more than a dozen primary and specialty care clinics through Carondelet Medical Group and Western Neuro. Its service portfolio spans emergency medicine, cardiovascular care, neurosciences, obstetrics and maternity (including a Level II NICU), orthopedics, bariatric surgery, and rehabilitation services, with over 110,000 emergency visits treated annually across the network.

The network runs on conventional hospital delivery infrastructure combined with selected advanced medical technology platforms, including the Opal HDx Mapping System for cardiac electrophysiology, low-dose CT lung cancer screening, robotic Aquablation therapy for BPH, and certified Primary Stroke Center capabilities at both major hospitals. Digital infrastructure consists of consumer-facing patient portals (mycarondelethealth.iqhealth.com for hospital services, an Athenahealth portal for Carondelet Medical Group), Apple Health Data integration, and a Phreesia-powered digital registration workflow, with no developer-facing APIs or proprietary AI systems.

Carondelet generates revenue through fee-for-service patient care billed to private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and self-pay patients, using standard diagnosis-related group (DRG) pricing published under federal price transparency rules. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through owned facilities, with patient acquisition driven by emergency department access, physician referrals, online health assessments, and community partnerships. The network is wholly owned and operated by Tenet Healthcare (NYSE: THC), and its operating entity is TH Medical; the founding religious order divested ownership prior to current Tenet control.
