Covering an area of 76ha, the new campus will feature more single-occupancy rooms, a community gathering space and residential development. It will be designed to make more usage of natural light.
Northern Arizona Healthcare president and chief executive Flo Spyrow told AP that the expansion project will help the hospital to meet the future needs, while providing improved services to patients, majority of whom come from outside Flagstaff.
Spyrow further added: “Equally significant is that this exceptional level of care will be right here, close to home and negating unnecessary travel for those who count on us every single day.”
The project will begin with new hospital and ambulatory clinic. It is currently in the zoning phase and is expected to take several years for completion.
