Project overview
Valleywise Health set a goal to transform healthcare in the Phoenix area by expanding its facilities, resources and services. Proposition 480 turned that goal into a reality and laid the foundation for the “Care Reimagined” program.
Vanir was selected to provide integrated program management services for the seven-year, $935 million program that aimed to:
- Expand healthcare to underserved communities and/or medical deserts
- Incorporate behavioral health into the medical services care model
- Replace existing, dated facilities, including the Roosevelt Campus
Vanir completed 16 construction and renovation projects, including:
- A Comprehensive Health Center: 126,000 square feet in Peoria
- Four Templated Community Health Centers: South Phoenix/Laveen, North Phoenix, West Maryvale, and Mesa (26,000-27,000 sf )
- Renovations on two Behavioral Health Centers: Maryvale and Phoenix
- A state-of-the-art Medical Center: 10 stories in Phoenix with world-famous Arizona Burn Center
- Virginia G Piper Charitable Trust Pavilion: six-story learning and teaching hub with a 5,200-sf state-of-the-art simulation center
Care reimagined through innovative solutions
Despite budget challenges, the Vanir team worked diligently to provide innovative, money-saving solutions, such as reusing outdated buildings, connecting facilities and designing an energy-saving central utility plant within the existing warehouse of the Roosevelt Hospital.
