HEALTHCARE RESOURCES
There’s no doubt that Arizona is a health-conscious state. With a storied history of a healing climate that has long attracted residents and visitors alike, Arizona is known as a healthy place to live.
Archived research from the University of Arizona shows the proliferation of health sanatoriums in brochures that advertised the “arid desert climate, higher elevations, and endless sunshine.” While cures for many early diseases came from scientific research, the Southwest climate – and particularly Arizona’s climate – gave “health-seekers a sense of relief and comfort.” That’s still the case today. In fact, Arizona was ranked the “8th Greenest State” in Business Facil- ities’ 2008 Ranking Report, based on nine eco-related criteria including incentives for renewable energy and energy efficiency, and pounds of pollution released. Healthcare also contributes significant economic impact to the state. More than 73,000 of the state’s citizens work in Arizona hospitals or health networks, and every job at an Arizona hospital generates an additional 1.5 jobs in the state. In fact, since 1990, Arizona hospital employment growth has significantly outpaced the annual
