Hospice Care

Peoria, Arizona has a strong employment base in health care and is  quickly becoming a hub for world-renowned care. In 2018, construction  began on a new $70 million multi-specialty health center. The 127,000  square foot facility is the newest, state-of-the-art location for Valleywise Health (formerly Maricopa Integrated Health Systems). The facility celebrated its grand opening in early 2021.

This comes on the heels of the completion of two more medical centers, both of which opened in Peoria in 2017. HonorHealth completed construction of a $10 million facility totaling 25,000 square  feet, which brings primary care physicians, specialists, and other  services together under one roof. Cigna Medical Group  also opened its two story, 60,000 square foot facility on Thunderbird  Road, which combines family and internal medicine, a pharmacy,  laboratory, and urgent care into one convenient facility.

Peoria is also home to the 185-acre Plaza del Rio health care campus,  the largest off-hospital campus medical community in Arizona. The  campus is unique, attracting and combining medical office facilities and  seven different types of senior living facilities. This campus system  allows seniors who are facing medical challenges to live their lives in a  setting that complements their needs and desires. Furthermore,  physicians, the onsite clinical research organization Pivotal Research,  and neighboring Banner Sun Health Boswell Hospital have easy access to a  variety of medical services and a built-in market of patients. Five  full-service hospitals are within 15 minutes of any part of the city.

Banner Select Peoria is the latest project completed at  Plaza del Rio. The project is a joint venture between Banner Health and  Select Medical. Groundbreaking took place in early 2019 with the grand  opening taking place in September 2020. The new hospital has 56 beds and  a focus on medical rehabilitation for patients recovering from stroke,  spinal cord injury, brain injury, neurological disorders and other  conditions. The building occupies 65,870 square feet on three stories.

With neighboring facilities including Cancer Treatment Center of  America and Banner Medical Center, it's easy to see that Peoria is a  central corridor for high quality medical care, as well as one of  Peoria's top industries.
