HonorHealth, a Valley healthcare system serving more than 5 million people in Scottsdale and the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony today to celebrate the opening of its newest healthcare facility, HonorHealth Complete Care – Lake Pleasant in Peoria.
The facility, which is found at 25550 N. Lake Pleasant Parkway, is now open, according to a press release.
The combined emergency department and urgent care model gives patients convenient access to both levels of care under one roof. HonorHealth partnered with Dallas-based Intuitive Health to build the 12,172-square-foot space, which includes on-site X-ray, CT and laboratory testing capabilities, the release states.
“The Complete Care model removes the guesswork from an already stressful moment,” Todd LaPorte, CEO of HonorHealth, said. “Peoria residents didn’t have a local emergency department until today; by bringing emergency and urgent care together in one place, patients get the right level of care quickly and are only billed for the care they truly need,” Mr. LaPorte said.
As the northwest Valley continues to be one of the fastest-growing regions in Maricopa County, data indicate an increasing need for expanded healthcare services and improved access across the continuum of care. HonorHealth Complete Care – Lake Pleasant will play a role in meeting these needs, strengthening the area’s healthcare infrastructure and supporting the region’s growing population.
“Peoria is growing quickly, and our community deserves timely, trusted care that keeps pace,” Peoria Mayor Jason Beck said. “This Complete Care location brings convenient, high-quality services to families right here at home, now and in the future.”
HonorHealth Complete Care — Lake Pleasant is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and will be staffed with board-certified physicians and advanced practitioners. Urgent care services will be available from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., with emergency room services available around the clock.
“This new facility means residents no longer have to worry about choosing between urgent care and an ER. Patients can walk in and be seen quickly by emergency-trained team members for the expert care they need,” Thom Herrmann, CEO of Intuitive Health, said. “We’re grateful for our continued collaboration with HonorHealth, and our shared commitment to expanding high-quality, patient-centric care to families across the Valley.”
