Mayo Clinic to expand Phoenix facility through $1.9 billion investment in Arizona

PHOENIX — The Mayo Clinic in Phoenix is set to expand due to the health care company’s decision to invest $1.9 billion in Arizona.

The move will grow the Phoenix campus by nearly 60% through a 1.2 million-square-foot expansion.

Officials say their investment will pay for a new procedural building, a five-floor expansion of the Mayo Clinic Specialty Building, 11 new operating rooms and two new patient units that will add 48 beds to the hospital’s current offerings.

The cash will also enable new cutting-edge technology to be used in future treatments.

Additionally, the plan calls for a two-story indoor promenade that will wrap around the front of the campus and help patients and visitors to navigate between buildings.

Officials also say the expansion includes the development of “care neighborhoods,” which will combine complementary clinical services to help patients feel more at ease with their medical care.

Dr. Richard Gray, the CEO of Mayo Clinic in Arizona, said this plan will help professionals care for more patients than ever before.

“This incredible investment will forever change the patient and staff experience in Arizona as Mayo Clinic grows and reinvents its nationally recognized clinical care, research and education,”” Gray said in a Monday news release. “We look forward to setting new standards for patient care and medical innovation.”

Designers have started creating plans for the Arizona expansion this year, according to the release. These changes are slated to be completed in 2031.
