Abrazo Health officials hosted an event with local dignitaries as the health care provider celebrated its new medical campus in Buckeye.
The 27-acre campus in Buckeye envisaged by Abrazo Health is planned to include medical offices, ambulatory services and an acute care hospital to help meet the need for more health services in one of the fastest growing cities in the nation, according to a press release.
The first phase of development is a three-story, 60,000-square-foot medical office building, the release states.
“We’ve had the fastest growing city in the United States for the last decade. We are ready for quality, first-class health care like this,” said Buckeye Mayor Eric Orsborn, in a prepared statement. “I cannot wait see the finished building with the Abrazo logo on it.”
Abrazo Health officials anticipate the new medical campus at I-10 and Verrado Way will be a healthcare anchor for the area and a driver of economic activity.
“We have tremendous partners in the city of Buckeye, to partner with this community and build a state-of-the art medical campus that will help improve the quality of lives of the citizens of Buckeye and beyond,” said Hans Driessnack, CEO of Abrazo West Campus. “All of you here have been so integral in making this a reality for this community.”
Medical office building tenants are slated to include cardiology, orthopedics, spine, primary care and urology physician practices, physical therapy and other offices, Abrazo Health officials tell the Digital Free Press.
“We are very excited that we will be able to provide healthcare for the community in Buckeye,” said Dr. Deepanshu Garg. “In addition to the physician offices Abrazo plans to provide other outpatient services and a future hospital, and we are very dedicated to this campus.”
Abrazo Health Market CEO Brian Elisco noted that the new campus will offer additional specialties and services closer to home for area families.
“What we are celebrating today is just the first step in a multiple step journey, because this is a multi-year investment to serve not only the city of Buckeye but the entire west side community,” he said.
Mayor Osborn echoed a similar sentiment.
“It’s critical that we build developments like this here in Buckeye,” he said. “We’re excited about being able to talk about more phases in the future.”
