Tucson Medical Center and El Rio Community Health Center, two leaders in the local health care industry, have joined forces to create HealthOn Tucson, a new innovative, integrated health and wellness nonprofit collaboration.

As part of this joint venture, construction is underway for HealthOn Broadway, 1 W. Broadway Blvd. When open in January, the 8,211 square-foot facility will provide state-of-the-art primary care, health education and wellness coaching to any community member. Accessible from the streetcar, the facility will be open Monday through Saturday, including evening hours. HealthOn Broadway will be staffed to accommodate up to 7,000 patient visits per year.

Tucson Medical Center and El Rio Community Health Center, two leaders in the local health care industry, have joined forces to create HealthOn Tucson, a new innovative, integrated health and wellness nonprofit collaboration.

TMC has been working with the City of Tucson and Pima County about the needs of their employees and having a downtown health care option. “Our community is telling us that they want to access health care where they live and where they work,” said Judy Rich, president and CEO, TMC HealthCare. “And it just made sense to partner with our colleagues at El Rio Health to bring this innovative concept to downtown Tucson.”

Add this desire for closer access to the recent growth of downtown and El Rio’s recent relocation of its administrative campus to the Manning House (in addition to its El Rio Congress clinic), and downtown became the natural choice for this first collaborative site.

“We are transforming how primary care should be delivered through patient experience, innovation, efficiency and clinical outcomes,” said Nancy Johnson, CEO, of El Rio. “TMC and El Rio are committed to creating a unique, integrated health care model, which has not yet been seen in Tucson.”

TMC and El Rio are committed to Tucson and the wellness of the community by bringing health care to where people live and work. Locally governed and operated, the organizations are invested in high-quality care, workforce development, economic sustainability and empowering people to take care of themselves and their families. This venture aims to keep the community healthy by offering an array of preventative health care education and wellness programs in addition to direct care.

The new mixed-use building is being built by Caylor Design & Construction. HealthOn Broadway will occupy the ground floor of the building, which is being designed by BWS Architects. Cirrus Visual is working with TMC and El Rio on development of the new brand.
