What DMG does

District Medical Group (DMG) is a non-profit integrated medical group founded in 1993 and headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, operating exclusively within Maricopa County. The group comprises more than 650 credentialed providers representing over 50 medical and surgical specialties, plus approximately 350 professional and administrative staff. DMG's clinical operations are structurally anchored to Valleywise Health, a public hospital district: DMG providers staff the Valleywise Health Medical Center (an acute care hospital), three inpatient behavioral health centers, eleven community health centers, two comprehensive health centers, two emergency departments, and the internationally recognized Diane & Bruce Halle Arizona Burn Center. The organization serves more than 450,000 patients annually and runs a large graduate medical education program with 220+ residents and fellows in more than 60 affiliated programs, plus 700+ medical students trained annually through partnerships with the University of Arizona College of Medicine and the Creighton University Arizona Health Education Alliance (of which DMG is a founding partner). Additional service lines include DMG Children's Rehabilitative Services for pediatric complex-care patients and active clinical research across therapies, conditions, and devices.

The underlying technology stack is built on a Cerner electronic health record system shared across the Valleywise delivery network, with a Cerner-powered patient portal for online scheduling, records access, and provider messaging, and a telehealth platform supporting behavioral health, primary care, and specialty visits. DMG also operates an employee training system via HealthStream. DMG generates revenue by billing patient services to Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurers including United Healthcare, and participates in the United Healthcare Transparency in Coverage program. The organization publishes Good Faith Estimates for uninsured and self-pay patients in compliance with the No Surprise Billing Act. Medical education funding flows from academic partners and federal graduate medical education programs. Marketing and patient acquisition are conducted primarily through the dmgaz.org website, social channels (Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube), provider-authored health content, and an online provider search directory. The organization holds no disclosed AI/ML capabilities or proprietary technology, and the primary institutional customer is Valleywise Health, with whom DMG maintains a mutual strategic partnership that defines its operating model.
