When Dignity Health opens its first area mini-hospital in Laveen next year, it will be managed by a Texas company that specializes in emergency room-only and smaller hospitals.
Dignity Health, which owns and operates St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center and two East Valley hospitals, said that Dignity Health Arizona General Hospital will be located at 7171 S. 51st Avenue with an expected opening before April 1, 2015.
