TMC is also committed to empowering patients to be active partners in their care and has a robust wellness outreach program, including at TMC for Seniors at El Dorado, The Core Health & Wellness Center at La Encantada and Chef Janos Wilder’s Carriage House.

Company History

Tucson Medical Center has been providing continuous service to Southern Arizona from the day it admitted its first patient on Nov. 9, 1944. In the passing years, through good times and bad, TMC has never stopped delivering on its mission to improve health and the well-being of the people of Southern Arizona.

TMC’s roots extend back to the 1920s, when the internationally known Desert Sanatorium began operating as a tuberculosis treatment center and health retreat. Some of the original buildings from the Desert San remain in service today, as a testament to the long history of health care delivered on this site. The desert landscaping and sun-drenched patios of today are part of the heritage established by the Desert Sanatorium.
