MISSION:
The mission of the Phoenix Indian Medical Center (PIMC) is to offer quality health care that is uniquely suited to American Indians and Alaska Natives.
VISION:
The vision of PIMC is to be the primary choice of American Indians and Alaska Native people seeking to achieve the highest level of physical, mental, social, and spiritual well being.
PIMC's goals are:
1. Increase and optimize the involvement and satisfaction of our customers and employees.
2. Support, develop, and advance the health and well-being of American Indians and Alaska Natives.
3. Provide a work environment that is supportive and where each employee displays a sense of ownership, a team spirit of cooperation, mutual respect and individual self-worth.
4. Be a vital partner in the Indian Community.
5. Remain fiscally responsible by optimizing the use of resources.
Nurses
Participation in patient education, discharge planning and quality assurance is a daily component of an IHS nursing practice. This makes the professional scope significantly broader and more challenging than in most metropolitan hospitals. In the transcultural environment unique to Indian Health' Service, our nurses find that clients may come from one or more of the 40 tribes we serve. Staff, clinical and specialty nursing opportunities are available in Phoenix at PIMC.
In the rural atmosphere of the small hospitals, nurses act as generalists, and their assessment skills in multiple clinical areas are frequently called into use. Public Health Nurses are often requested to spearhead and administer a variety of preventive health programs throughout the community. They serve as a vital liaison between the IHS facility and tribal members. There are a myriad of other opportunities available in the areas of quality assurance, infection control, nursing administration and education; and as nurse practitioners providing primary care.
As you can see, the nurse plays an essential role in virtually all the programs aimed at improving the health of the Indian people. If you are committed to caring, Phoenix IHS is your ideal choice.

Description: |
|
One of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the United States, Phoenix is the base for our Phoenix Area Office and hospital. We serve more than 35,000 Indians within this Service Unit. When the referral population from the Arizona Service Units are added in, a total of more than 70,000 American Indians receive health care from this location.
Phoenix is ideal for families. You can choose from established neighborhoods or sparkling new master-planned communities. Rental, resale, and new homes are available throughout the metro area. Arizona State University is in Tempe, and numerous community colleges are located valley-wide. In addition, several of our Medical Center's clinical departments offer continuing education for the IHS staff.
Phoenix is at an elevation of 1,092 feet, an arid climate with low mountainous areas. Winter, fall, and spring are beautifully mild and sunny; summer is hot with temperatures often exceeding 100 degrees. The dryness of the desert tempers the heat, along with the many public pools and nearby lakes.
Best of all, Phoenix is centrally located, making it convenient to cooler climates. Feel the freshness of the crisp pines in Prescott. Head over to Payson for a old-time fiddler's contest. Or see the genius of Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin West.
For the sports enthusiast, the Valley boasts major intercollegiate competition from the PAC-10, as well as the annual Fiesta Bowl. We're also home to Phoenix Cardinals pro football and the Phoenix Suns basketball team and the AZ Diamondbacks Baseball team. During the spring, many major league baseball teams set up their training camps here.
As you can see, when you live in Phoenix, you have the best of big city and country life.
