Maricopa County and Creighton University are working together to address a major challenge to the region’s prosperity and well-being: the growing shortage of doctors and nurses.
The Maricopa County Industrial Development Authority, backed by the Board of Supervisors, is investing $2.5 million in the construction of the Creighton University Health Sciences — Phoenix Campus, which will train new doctors, nurses, therapists and more.
Creighton’s expansion into Arizona comes at a crucial time for the state, which faces a population boom and shortage of health care workers.
