Medical Center preparing for Phase II – The Fountain Hills Times
By Bob Burns – The Fountain Hills Times
The Fountain Hills Medical Center is near ready to take the next step toward the ultimate development of a fully certified hospital in the community, according to Dr. Scott Schleifer, Emergency Medicine Medical Director for the center.
Schleifer said an architect for the facility is in the final stages of preparing the proposal and documents that will be submitted to the Town of Fountain Hills for construction permitting.
The plan is for a 30,000 square-foot facility that will be occupied in two phases, according to Schleifer. He said they anticipate construction can begin early next year and be ready to open the second phase by late 2022. The plan for that next step is for 15 inpatient beds and a cardiac cath suite.
