CITY FINALLY HAS HOSPITAL; PLANS SET FOR SECOND
The hospital will be a single story and have 10 private rooms, 10 emergency department rooms and space for radiology. The state- of-the-art facility also will feature a digital-imaging suite including CT Scan, X-Ray, mobile MRI and ultrasound, an in-house lab, and inpatient and outpatient hospital beds for acute admissions and overnight observation of patients. The operation is expected to create 60 to 100 jobs. Exceptional Healthcare also will feature a landing area for air ambulances to ensure the fastest possible transfer of patients needing a higher level of care. Bruce McVeigh, the chief operating officer of Exceptional Healthcare, said his company is excited to be part of the Maricopa community. “For one thing, we get to build a relationship with the community,” McVeigh said. “We’ve been saying that since the groundbreaking — we are all about the community. We want to make a difference in the lives of people in the community. Clearly, in Maricopa it was an access-to-need problem. Our company is doing the ERs we do so well and putting them in areas where there’s a need.” Mayor Christian Price said Exceptional Healthcare’s hospital fills a vital need for the city. “For over a decade now, the City of Maricopa has been working diligently to assist healthcare options to locate here,” Price said.

The $20 million facility’s initial phase brings a 24-hour emergency department to the city, eliminating the need for patients to travel 20-plus miles to receive emergency care in Chandler or Casa Grande.
