The company expected to operate Maricopa’s second hospital has a successful track record of running small hospitals in Arizona, Texas and six other states.
Founded in 2011, Houston-based Nutex Health currently operates micro-hospitals in Chandler and Tucson. The company has 15 of its 24 hospitals in its home state of Texas, but also has facilities in Arkansas, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Oklahoma, with four more in various stages of development.
The company operates micro-hospitals, free-standing emergency rooms and community hospitals.
Nutex is looking to operate Maricopa’s second hospital on four acres of land at the southeast corner of John Wayne Parkway and Bowlin Road. The city sold the land to S3 BioTech LLC in June for $1.38 million.
According to Dr. Ed Johnson, an S3 BioTech board member, Maricopa is exactly the type of market Nutex seeks.
