Banner Health is planning construction for a new, four-story, 330,000-square-foot comprehensive medical center in the Southwest Valley of Phoenix, slated to open in 2024.  

“We want to provide convenient care that is close to home for our patients and their families,” says Scott Nordlund, chief strategy and growth officer for Banner Health. “Buckeye and the surrounding Southwest Valley is growing fast, and we want to make sure our patients and health plan members have care close to where they work or live when they want and need it.” 

The hospital, which has not yet been named will have approximately 120 beds and offer imaging, surgery, labor and delivery, intensive care and an emergency room. The hospital will have room for expansion, with a potential build-out of more than 300 beds as the community grows and requires more services.
