1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 General Valleywise Health Information

Valleywise Health, a special healthcare district and political subdivision of the State of Arizona,

includes the Valleywise Health Medical Center, the Arizona Burn Center, the Comprehensive

Healthcare Center, the Arizona Children’s Center, the 7th Avenue Walk-In Clinic, 11 community-

oriented health centers, and an attendant care program. Valleywise Health also is a premier

training center for Arizona’s physicians. Our medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and OB/GYN

programs, in particular, contribute to the body of knowledge of patient care.

Valleywise Health is located in central Arizona and serves as the health care safety net for citizens

of Maricopa County. The health system serves people of many races and nationalities who come

from diverse cultures and speak several different languages. Many of the patients face major

challenges, such as lack of health insurance, complex medical problems, and difficult

socioeconomic situations. Caring for these patients demands special knowledge and sensitivity.

Valleywise Health is committed to giving culturally appropriate, sensitive medical care and

helping its patients live healthier lives. Annually, Valleywise Health has over 27,000 inpatient

admissions and over 450,000 outpatient and ambulatory visits.

Valleywise Health Medical Center is a 515-bed licensed, full-service hospital, which includes a

level one adult and pediatric trauma center. Over 67,000 adults and children are treated annually

in the Adult and Pediatric Emergency Departments. The Arizona Burn Center, Arizona's only

regional burn center and the second largest in the nation, provides world-class care for critically

injured burn patients from across Arizona and the Southwest. The Valleywise Health Arizona

Children’s Center features a 31-bed Neonatal Intensive Care Unit that provides critical inpatient

services for babies transported across the Southwest. Specialty care is offered at our

Comprehensive Healthcare Center, a multi-specialty care clinic located at the Valleywise Health

Medical Comprehensive Care campus.

Valleywise Health has 11 Community Health Centers throughout the Valley. The professional

medical staff at all 11 centers are trained and certified in primary care and focus on the treatment

of both adults and children. Many of the Valleywise Health Community Health Centers provide

all health care needs in one location, including primary care, dental care, and pharmacy services.

health care and psychiatric services. Additional behavioral health services are provided on the
