Plans for Maricopa hospital on ice
It has been five years since plans of a hospital coming to Maricopa were announced.
In 2012, Dignity Health purchased nearly 19 acres on the northeast corner of John Wayne Parkway and Smith-Enke Road with the intention of building a 34,800-square-foot emergency facility and hospital by 2016.
The provider opened an urgent care facility in the Maricopa Fiesta shopping center the following year, but movement up the road on a new facility has not materialized.
