About Us
The Phoenix Indian Medical Center (PIMC) provides direct health care services to over 171,375 patients. The six (6) Tribes that comprise the Phoenix Service Unit are the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation (*), the San Lucy District of the Tohono O’odham Nation, the Tonto Apache Tribe, the Yavapai-Apache Indian Tribe (*), the Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe (*), and the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community (*). PIMC also operates the Ak-Chin Health Center in the Ak-Chin Indian Community and the Sherman Indian Boarding School Student Health Clinic in Riverside, California. Tribal members who receive care at PIMC are often residents of the greater Phoenix area and hail from Tribes throughout the U.S. PIMC also provides specialty care in tribal and federal health care facilities in Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and California.
PIMC has a long history of delivering comprehensive health care to AI/AN people. This history began with the establishment of the Phoenix Indian Boarding School and the East Farm Tuberculosis Sanatorium in the early 1900's. The existing Phoenix Indian Medical Center tower opened in 1970 as a "third generation" health care facility. Over the last year, we have made significant progress in preparing to shape the future of IHS with a "fourth generation" replacement facility. We currently deliver over 500,000 primary care, specialty care, and emergency visits annually, and it is our goal to build a state-of- the-art facility that can more than triple this number of annual visits by 2035. To achieve this goal, we have established a strategic vision to ASCEND: Build our future together by empowering, listening, and caring for our Community.
