Dignity Health and Phoenix Children’s Hospital plan a five-story hospital tower in Gilbert that will include two dozen labor and delivery rooms and an emergency department for pregnant women.
Construction of the planned tower on the campus of Mercy Gilbert Medical Center, 3555 S. Val Vista Drive, is expected to begin in late 2018 and be completed by 2020, the two hospitals said. The hospitals would not disclose how much the new tower is expected to cost.
Mercy Gilbert will oversee 24 labor-and-delivery rooms, 48 beds for mothers and an emergency room for obstetrics. Phoenix Children’s Hospital will handle the pediatric wing of the hospital tower, which will include 50 beds, a 12-bed emergency department and operating rooms.
