Since opening our doors just under a year ago, Fountain Hills Medical Center has been thrilled to bring top-tier health care from extraordinary medical providers right to your neighborhood. What we’ve heard countless times from the patients who come in for primary care, specialist appointments, and emergency care, is that they are so happy to have medical resources so close by. Below are just a few reasons why having a Fountain Hills emergency department and medical center in your neighborhood matters:

Who doesn’t love short driving times?

Less time on the road means more time for you to spend how you want: being with your loved ones, relaxing, exercising – basically everything that your doctor wants you to do more of. Not to mention that anything that can decrease your trips to the gas station has got to be a good idea.

Distance makes the difference

You know that specialty store you’ve been wanting to visit? Or that pile of clothes you’ve been meaning to donate to a Scottsdale thrift store? Or the friend you’d love to see more often, if only they lived closer? Most likely those aren’t making the top of your to-do list because it’s so hard to prioritize errands in other cities. Distance makes a pretty big difference in how we complete our tasks, and let’s face it – if routine physical tests and procedures require a road trip to the next town, it’s an instant case of out of sight, out of mind.

And on a more serious note, if you or your loved ones find yourselves in need of Fountain Hills emergency medical care, you’re more likely to postpone getting medical help when a 45-minute drive is on the docket. Having Fountain Hills Medical Center in your neighborhood means you have emergency care where you need it, when you need it.

Greater peace of mind

Knowing that you have access to insurance-covered 24-hour emergency care, at any time of the day or night, leads to reduced anxiety and a higher quality of life. Knowing that you don’t need to arrange for a long-distance ride, or worry about getting seriously sick or injured and not having access to care makes everyday life less worrisome. And in light of the COVID pandemic, in case you feel uncertain about meeting with your doctor in person, we’re happy to offer telemedicine options for appointments.

And speaking of COVID…

There’s no need to make an appointment and wait to get a COVID test. We offer immediate testing for COVID in our emergency department, with the ability to provide antigen test results in minutes. And what if you test positive for COVID? Our compassionate, professional staff provide diagnosis-related counseling, any necessary prescriptions, and ongoing support as needed.

Increased property value

Having a medical center in your neighborhood, especially one that provides emergency care, can increase your property value. Once your area becomes a sought-after location for those with specific medical needs or those simply looking for the “total package” neighborhood, property values will undoubtedly rise.
