Expansion
As Arizona grows, so must Phoenix Children's Hospital.
In 2008, Phoenix Children's Hospital broke ground on a $588 million expansion that will transform us from the Hospital we are today to a nationally renowned pediatric medical campus and set a new standard in children's healthcare.
The vision for this new Phoenix Children's Hospital is to enhance clinical programs and increase overall capacity in our unique, kid-friendly environment of family-centered care. By renovating in phases, the Hospital will do all this and more without ever shutting our doors or compromising the level of service this community has come to expect from Phoenix Children's Hospital.
NEW: See detailed plans for Phase I improvements, to be completed by 2012.
The expansion plan – including major facility upgrades with a keen eye toward sustainability, branching out to high-growth areas of the Valley, and staff additions – is the Hospital's strategic response to the explosive population growth expected in Arizona during the next two decades.
Our vision to become one of the best pediatric hospitals in the nation also drives our pursuit of knowledge through research and new collaborations - to find the best treatments and provide cutting-edge care.
As we move forward to provide hope, healing, and the best healthcare for seriously ill children, we make a precious investment in our future - our children.
