PHOENIX — Site preparation for Abrazo Health’s new medical campus in Buckeye has begun.
Buckeye Mayor Eric Orsborn, Abrazo West Campus Executive Director Hans Driessnack, Abrazo West Campus Chief of Staff Dr. Deepanshu Garg, and Abrazo Health CEO Brian Elisco met with marketers this week and toured the new campus at Interstate 10 and Verrado Way.
The 27-acre site will include medical offices, ambulatory services and an acute care hospital. Officials expect the new campus to catalyze economic growth in the area.
“Buckeye looks forward to Abrazo’s expansion in the city,” Orsborn said in a news release. “Your commitment and investment in our network will create quality jobs closer to home and close the physical care gap in the region.
The first phase of the new campus will be a three-story, 60,000-square-foot office building for a variety of practices, including cardiology, orthopedics, spine, primary care and physical therapy.
Most recently, Abrazo has been serving the West Valley with Buckeye Freestanding Emergency Center and Goodyear’s Abrazo West Campus.
“We are excited to see the continued strong interest in our new medical campus,” Driessnack said in the release. “As a long-term partner of Buckeye, we have seen and felt the rapid growth of this area, as well as clearly heard the needs of residents, physicians and our civic partners.”
