Our Story
Connecting Communities To High-Quality Healthcare
Healing is a process, not an event. We understand and respect this, just as the ancient Greeks did. They gave us the Hippocratic Oath; and from them, we took our name.
IASIS
An ancient Greek word that means the process of healing.
Founded in 1998, privately held IASIS Healthcare owns and operates community-focused hospitals in high growth urban and suburban markets. IASIS has 19 general, acute-care hospitals in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, Nevada, Texas and Utah. IASIS also owns a behavioral hospital, and a Medicaid and Medicare health plan in Arizona. In total, we have more than 4,400 licensed beds.
Shared Success
Ours is a simple but powerful approach – we enable our hospitals to fulfill their independent missions by combining the traditions of community-focused healthcare with the resources they need to grow. We believe our shared success hinges on the individual achievements of each of our hospitals and strong partnerships with hospital boards, management teams, physicians, patients and the local communities we serve.
Keys To Success
At IASIS, we have a proven track record of investing in our hospitals for the long-term, focusing on operational excellence, and helping them build strong partnerships to become exceptional community leaders. When you join IASIS, you become part of a larger system of nearly 14,000 dedicated healthcare professionals providing high-quality patient care. You also have access to the most innovative planning tools and sophisticated technology. Led by a team of experienced leaders and with more than $2.8 billion in annual net revenues, we can make large, strategic investments that hospitals must have to succeed in today’s rapidly changing healthcare environment.
