The city has been flirting with a second hospital — and their on-again, off-again relationship took a positive turn this week.
Maricopa City Council unanimously approved new contracts for an S3 BioTech medical campus near Copper Sky during a special meeting Tuesday night.
Current medical options in the city are slim: a pair of urgent care clinics with limited hours and Exceptional Community Hospital, which opened in 2021.
With that in mind, opening a second full-service hospital is an exciting move, according to City Manager Rick Horst.
