Banner Ironwood Medical Center will break ground June 5 in Queen Creek

Phoenix Business Journal - by Angela Gonzales

Banner Health has set the construction start date for its newest facility, Banner Ironwood Medical Center.

Ground will be broken June 5 for the 24-bed hospital at 37000 N. Gantzel Road in Queen Creek, in northern Pinal County. The 220,000-square-foot center will cost $128 million to build. It initially will include four operating suites for inpatient and outpatient surgeries, as well as imaging capabilities such as X-ray, MRI, CT and ultrasound.

Future expansion of the tower will accommodate up to 86 beds. With a final build-out capacity of 500 beds, the hospital will grow to meet the growing demand.

The population surrounding Queen Creek is nearing 100,000. It is expected to double by 2020.

SmithGroup is the project architect and McCarthy Construction is the general contractor.
