Banner Health is committed to meeting the growing needs of the Scottsdale community by delivering exceptional care closer to home. With the new Banner Scottsdale medical campus, residents will have convenient access to world-class medical services, advanced cancer treatments, and comprehensive outpatient care, all within a thoughtfully designed environment that respects the natural beauty of the area. We are excited to build this new facility in Scottsdale and look forward to serving our patients with the highest standards of care and compassion. As we continue to grow with the community, our commitment to quality, innovation, and accessibility remains unwavering.
Banner Health's strategic growth plan focuses intensely on providing convenience and access for our patients, insurance plan members and their families. The residents and families we serve today – and those we will serve tomorrow – need the full range of health care choices close to where they live and work, when they want it, the moment they need it. Banner Scottsdale Medical Center will make it easier for our 50,000 members in Scottsdale and nearby to get the care they need without having to drive across the Valley.
Absolutely. Between 2020 and 2030, the northeast Valley will add 100,000 new residents, according to Census statistics. This 17 percent surge in population represents a city larger than Goodyear or Yuma. These residents deserve quality health care close to home.
Today, the 50,000 Banner members who live in and around Scottsdale face drives over an hour for specialized cancer care or surgical procedures. That's a hassle at a time when they need the best possible care close to home and available immediately. The same goes for the future residents who will join Banner rightfully expecting to have all their health care needs met nearby, efficiently and cost-effectively.
Access to a variety of health care providers and insurance companies creates more options and convenience for consumers and real cost savings for families and employers. The new medical campus will offer a single stop for residents who need quality medical services, from an emergency room visit to an elective surgical procedure, physical therapy to cancer treatment to medical imaging, and prescriptions.
Absolutely. Banner Health Center plus will comply with the city's adopted Green Building Program that mandates adherence to the International Green Construction Code®. Design features will include EV-ready charging infrastructure, renewable energy solutions, and water use reduction strategies.
Banner stands committed to solutions that reduce water use without compromising patient care, including use of targeted areas through landscape design and low water use plant species. Open space and pedestrian pathways are planned to either have natural bioswales to promote water movement or depressions to increase water infiltration. Basins are designed to be integrated into the natural landscape design character and treat the first flush of any on-site collection. The project includes no expansive turf areas. The landscape will consist of indigenous and adapted desert plant species. Banner’s required water and sewer use on the campus will be significantly less than comparable uses permitted in the underlying zoning.
Banner has become a national leader in solving our industry's shortage of qualified workers. We have partnered with private, state and community colleges to develop feeder programs to staff Banner openings with well-trained college graduates.
Banner is also fully committed to addressing physician shortages through proactive efforts like expanding our graduate medical education program. In partnership with the University of Arizona Colleges of Medicine, Banner administers the largest residency program in the state. Last year the programs in Phoenix and Tucson trained nearly 1,500 residents and fellows across 91 programs, and we are adding hundreds of new seats to address critical needs in Arizona like primary care and rural medicine. We invest in this space because we know it is critical for our state and the health care industry. We know many of these physicians will stay and practice in Arizona upon graduation.
Finding the best and the brightest to work for us in the northeast Valley will not be an issue.
