Why Tucson

Tucson is a UNESCO City of Gastronomy with 350+ days of sunshine, making it as easy to enjoy a weekend hike in Sabino Canyon as it is to discover one of the city's celebrated restaurants or live music venues.

The cost of living is genuinely affordable — spacious homes, strong public and private schools, and a laid-back pace that's rare in cities with this much cultural depth.

The University of Arizona anchors a vibrant academic and research community, and when you need a change of scenery, Sedona, Phoenix, and even northern Mexico are all within easy reach. Whether you're planting roots or simply ready for a better work-life balance, Tucson delivers.

Established in 1961, St. Josephs Hospital in Tucson is home to the Carondelet Neurological Institute and the Carondelet Joint Replacement Center. The hospital offers advanced care that includes a Level I Trauma Center, Comprehensive Stroke Center and spacious and comfortable labor and delivery units. Additional services include high-quality care in programs such as cardiology, orthopedics, stroke and emergency medicine. Join our team!
