WELCOME TO BANNER HEALTH - STRONG JOURNEY

Dear colleague,

As you may know, Banner Health has a vision to become a leader among health systems in this country. In many aspects I believe we are well on the path towards this distinction.

Our nonprofit mission statement is a single, eloquent sentence that is our gathering point. From this point all of our efforts to serve our patients and each other begin.

I believe we will earn our vision of leadership because the people of Banner Health – our caregivers who serve our patients and those who support our caregivers – will lead us to it. Every day, every hour throughout all of our facilities, the talents, skills, dedication and compassion of Banner employees benefit our patients.

A solid bridge of trust that has been created between Banner employees and their organization is our Journey commitment, which is modeled after our mission: "We'll help make a difference in your life and career so that you can make a difference in the lives of others."

When you consider that there are now more than 15,000 of Banner's 35,000 employees who have worked with Banner five years or longer, I believe you'd have to conclude that Banner is a worthwhile, satisfying Journey.

One of the most important aspects of Banner's Journey is the relationship between employees and their supervisors. This relationship is based upon mutual trust that is built by open, regular communication between you and your supervisor. We are convinced that this direct line of communication is the foundation of an engaged and productive workplace, as opposed to an indirect line of communication that is "brokered" by a union representative.

In fact, Banner Health's Board of Directors has taken a firm position to uphold our current philosophy of operating our services union-free, and to ensure that the direct line of communications between an employee and manager remains open.

The information on this Web site is to help you better understand unions and what your options are should you be approached by an individual who is seeking to bring a union into Banner Health.

Thank you for your continued dedication to Banner Health's nonprofit mission of making a difference in people's lives through excellent patient care.

President and CEO
