Phoenix Children’s Hospital – Arrowhead Campus oficially opened Aug. 7 at 19007 N. 67th Ave. in Glendale.
This 175,000-square-foot hospital offers inpatient care, a 24/7 emergency department, surgical care and advanced imaging services.
The new hospital will treat up to 72,000 patients annually.
“Our expansion plans in the West Valley have been decades in the making,” Robert L. Meyer, president and CEO of Phoenix Children’s stated in a press release. "Today’s opening is the culmination of years of effort to build a comprehensive campus that addresses the unique needs of children and ensures West Valley families can access the care they need, much closer to home.”
The Arrowhead campus provides 24 inpatient beds with plans to expand to 48 beds in early 2025, a 24/7 emergency department with 30 treatment rooms, six operating rooms, two minor procedure rooms, an onsite laboratory and a full suite of imaging services.
The campus represents an investment of $195 million and the creation of more than 400 jobs.
In November 2023, the health system opened a 45,000-square-foot multispecialty clinic at this campus, providing care in more than 20 pediatric subspecialties. This includes 10 specialties not previously available in the Northwest Valley such as psychology, neuropsychology and a neurodiagnostic sleep and electroencephalogram laboratory.
Phoenix Children’s – Avondale Campus, 20 miles south of the Arrowhead campus, opened last summer and provides a 24/7 pediatric emergency department and a large multispecialty clinic.
“Our goal with this expansion is to improve access, comfort and care for families throughout our fast-growing metro,” Meyer stated. “It’s not just about opening new sites; it’s about fulfilling our promise to bring the highest-quality pediatric health services to the communities where our patient families live and work.”
