A New Hospital for Maricopa?

mkalizmoore · May 10, 2008

Is Maricopa in Pinal County near Queen Creek? If so,I believe that is going to be Banner Ironwood Medical Center. They are also in the process of building a hospital in Buckeye

I cant tell you how close Maricopa is to Queen Creek but I do know that it is in Pinal County. I know that Maricopa is between phoenix and Casa Grande. Near Gila River reservation and I think wild horse? So im not sure? Thanks with a name and a company I can start doing some more research.

I just done some research and the new hospital that you were talking about will be in Queen Creek, but the one im talking about will be in the city of Maricopa.

I haven't heard anything about it yet myself. I live in Maricopa so that would be AWSOME if we were actually going to get a hospital. Since being an RN is still a few years away it would be nice to actually not have to made the dreaded drive down 347 every day. But with our population the way it is I can't imagine we would get one heck its taking forever for a Wal-Mart. But we totally need a trauma center closer than.... heck I don't even know where the closest is. Chandler. But HERE would be great. The way to make a city sure would be finally getting a hospital. Oh where did you see the sign?

They need to be thinking about building another ROAD out to Maricopa before they start thinking about anything else, least of all a hospital.

I saw the sign on bowlin and porter in maricopa. It is near the where the new walmart will be they are putting street lights up and paving the streets over in that area. The sign just reads hospital site by utaz.

First I heard that It would be a CHW hospital now im hearing that it will be a banner hospital? Some nurses told me that they live in Maricopa and that they read in a paper that it would be a Banner and that it was still five years away? So I have not read anything im still searching myself?

I live in Casa Grande- People often get confused about where Maricopa is and where Queen Creek.. (and where Casa Grande falls into it all) Maricopa is more south of Awatukee.. (so if you picture the valley on a map- go south and way to the west..) Its really no where near Casa Grande and VERY FAR from Queen creek.. To get to the Valley from Maricopa (getting onto 1-10 into south Chandler), it can be quick, about 15 minutes or so... But like everyone has talked about- during rush hour (in the morning and at night coming home) there is only one way in and out and its dreadful (and time consuming- thats the 347 road..) Now Queen Creek is WAY to the EAST- and I mean way to the east from Maricopa.. SO picture a map of the valley- go South but now go way WEST.. There's Queen Creek.. To get from Queen Creek back into the Valley its about 30-40 minutes. Casa Grande does kinds fall in the middle but to get to Maricpoa it takes about 40 or 45 minutes and to get to Queen Creek- about the same (large mountain in the way). To get to the valley from Casa Grande (which is really just south of Chandler) it takes about 30-35 minutes..I have heard the hospital everyone is talking about is The Banner Ironwood, and that near Queen Creek.. I hope that helps..

Am I understanding you correctly? Did I come off as not knowing where Maricopa was located? I posted because I wanted to know what hospital would be coming to Maricopa? I already know where Queen Creek is as well as Casa Grande, I even posted the streets located in Maricopa where I saw a sign that read Future Hospital Site. I simply wanted to know who would be building out that way as I am thinking of purchasing a home in the area. Thanks again for all of the informational posts on the new hospital.
