Dignity Health, Phoenix Children's break ground on 5-story pavilion

Phoenix Children's Hospital and San Francisco-based Dignity Health began construction on a five-story women and children's pavilion in Gilbert, Ariz.

The 374,000-square-foot facility, expected to open in 2020, will house 24 labor and delivery rooms, 48 postpartum beds and an emergency department dedicated to obstetrics. Phoenix Children's will operate 48 pediatric beds, a 12-bed pediatric ED and a 60-bed neonatal intensive care unit inside the pavilion.

The pavilion will be at Dignity Health's Mercy Gilbert Medical Center campus.

"Since we first brought our strengths together, Phoenix Children's and Dignity Health have become a tremendous force in the care of children and women in this country," said Linda Hunt, president and CEO of Dignity Health's Arizona service area. "This pavilion is an extension of those initial efforts and will mean better care for families in this rapidly growing part of the greater Phoenix area."
