Banner and UAHN

-->

Although not final, the stage seems set for Banner Health to purchase the University of Arizona Health Network that includes both UAHN Tucson hospitals and the physician practice plan along with various clinics around the city.  The proposal would also make Banner Good Samaritan hospital in Phoenix the primary teaching hospital for the College of Medicine – Phoenix.  This merger will have an affect on our ability to license information resources for the two Tucson hospitals.  However there are many details to work out and we will be working closely with the Phoenix campus library, the UA main library and the university administration to address the complexities.  I will do my best to keep you informed as we learn more but feel free to ask any questions that you may have.
