Construction, Upgrades Aim to Transform System’s Facilities, Services

2014 bond measure in 2014 has funded multiple construction and renovation projects

By Dan Hounsell


Some healthcare systems’ new construction and renovation projects have relatively modest, short-term goals, such as building a new facility or renovating an existing one to expand reach or improve service. Then there is the program undertaken by Valleywise Health in Phoenix in 2014.

The system set a goal to transform healthcare in the Phoenix area by expanding its facilities, resources and services, according to Health Facilities Management. A bond measure approved by Maricopa County voters in 2014 has funded multiple construction and renovation projects.

Upcoming community health centers include:

  • Community Health Center – West Maryvale scheduled to open later this year.
  • Community Health Center – Mesa scheduled to open in early 2022.

One set of projects are occurring at the site of Roosevelt Hospital, where a new medical center tower is being built. Additional work at the Roosevelt Hospital campus includes renovating part of the existing hospital warehouse to provide a new Central Utility Plant, providing mechanical upgrades for the existing, fully occupied behavioral health hospital and constructing a new support services building, plus a complete hardscape and landscape revitalization.
