Maryvale Hospital to Close

DateThursday, October 19, 2017 at 10:06AM

Abrazo Health Care has announced that it intends to close Maryvale Hospital effective December 18, 2017. Maryvale Hospital has had declining admissions and was realigned as a satellite facility of Abrazo West Campus in Goodyear in May 2017. Abrazo said they hoped to place most of the 300 Maryvale employees at other Abrazo medical centers.
