Dignity Health Seeks to Expand Access to High-Quality Health Care in North Phoenix

Dignity Health is bringing a 300,000-square-foot medical campus to the site of the Arizona Cardinals' new headquarters and performance center in north Phoenix. Phase 1 construction is set to begin in 2027, with an opening targeted for 2028 — the same year the Cardinals expect to move into their new facility.



A First-of-Its-Kind Campus for Dignity Health

Dignity Health will be the first business to join the Cardinals at their new site near Scottsdale Road and the Loop 101 Pima Freeway. The multiphase project will span eight acres of the 217-acre property and feature two buildings. When complete, the campus will be Dignity Health's largest outpatient facility.


What Physicians and Patients Can Expect

The campus will house a sports medicine institute, services from Barrow Neurological Institute as well as specialized care in orthopedics, cardiology, primary care, executive health, imaging, and outpatient surgery. The project is expected to generate roughly 700 medical and support positions.


Community Access at the Core

Dignity Health Arizona President Anthony Houston emphasized that the campus is designed to serve the broader community — not only professional athletes. The project builds on Dignity Health's existing partnership with the Cardinals, which currently includes naming rights to the team's Tempe facility.


What This Means for Arizona's Healthcare Landscape

The north Phoenix campus adds a significant outpatient footprint to a high-growth corridor of the Valley. With 700 medical and support positions expected and a suite of specialty services planned, the project is one to keep an eye on.

Arizona Erases $1 Billion in Medical Debt for Nearly 671,000 Residents

Hobbs Highlights Milestone in Ongoing Partnership With Undue Medical Debt Gov. Katie Hobbs announced this week that more than $1 billion in medical debt has been erased for nearly 671,000 Arizonans, marking a significant milestone in the state's ongoing partnership with the nonprofit Undue Medical Debt. How the Program Works The initiative, first launched in 2024, purchases qualifying medical debt from hospitals and collection agencies for a fraction of its value before eliminating the debt entirely for eligible patients. Who Qualifies According to the governor's office, recipients do not need to apply for the program. It is available to Arizona residents who: Receive low- and moderate-income Have medical debt that represents a substantial share of their annual income A Flashpoint in the 2026 Election Season Healthcare affordability has been at the forefront of Arizona's political conversation as the 2026 election season intensifies. Supporters argue that relieving burdensome medical debt can improve: Families' financial stability Creditworthiness Willingness to seek needed healthcare Critics of similar programs have generally questioned whether debt forgiveness addresses the underlying drivers of rising healthcare costs or simply treats the financial consequences after care has been delivered. As debates continue over healthcare affordability and access, Arizona's medical debt relief initiative is expected to remain a prominent example in broader discussions about how states can help patients facing significant medical expenses.
