Northwest Medical Center recently issued the following announcement.
Construction workers placed the last structural beam on top of the framework that will be Northwest Medical Center Houghton, a new 70-bed hospital on Houghton Road and Old Spanish Trail.
“I grew up on the east side of Tucson, so building a hospital here is particularly special for me,” said Kevin Stockton, Region President and Market CEO for Northwest Healthcare.
The new hospital – expected to be completed in fall of 2021 –will employ more than 595 people.
The eastside hospital will offer services designed to keep residents close to home, including an emergency room, surgical services, a cardiac catheterization lab– or, ‘cath lab’, labor and delivery department, including a neonatal intensive care unit, or ‘NICU’, as well as a medical office building housing primary care, orthopedics, and cardiology.
“We’ve been in Tucson for more than 35 years and we are humbled that the community continues to choose us for their healthcare. We’re pleased to be able to grow along with the community,” said Stockton.
The construction is part of Northwest Healthcare’s “No Boundaries” strategy to increase access points to quality healthcare services.
Northwest Healthcare just opened an 18-bed neighborhood hospital and medical offices in Sahuarita earlier this month, and will open Northwest Transitions, a skilled nursing and inpatient rehabilitation facility early next year.
