It has 2 Family Nurse Practitioners, 2 Medical Assistants, 3 Front Desk Specialists, and Sonora Quest Lab is on site for patient of this clinic, but Medical Assistants do draw blood during lunch if needed.

Your pay and benefits (Total Rewards) are important components of your Journey at Banner Health. Banner Health offers a variety of benefit plans to help you and your family. We provide health and financial security options so you can focus on being the best at what you do and enjoying your life.
