Honor Shea Medical Center. Established as a small hospital on the outskirts of Scottsdale, Shea Medical Center has grown to become a large medical and research facility. The 433-bed hospital offers a wide variety of services, including a Level III neonatal intensive care unit and cancer care at the Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center, which is accredited by the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons. In April 2014, the cancer center was selected by the Association of Community Cancer Centers to serve as a Community Resource Center in its Improving Quality in Pancreatic Cancer project.
In December 2013, Shea Medical Center was ranked among the top 97 hospitals in the country for joint replacement procedures by CMS. It was the only hospital in the Phoenix area to make the list. In 2014, the hospital earned an "A" grade from The Leapfrog Group for patient safety, and the hospital has also received Magnet designation for nursing excellence. Leapfrog has also named it one of the top urban hospitals in the nation.
Shea Medical Center's parent company, Scottsdale Healthcare, launched the Healthcare Military Partnership, a unique program that provides military medical personnel with training, education and clinical experience.
