Valleywise Health History

Since Valleywise Health first opened in 1877, we have continually reinvented ourselves to meet Maricopa County’s evolving medical needs. We have achieved many firsts – including the first medical residency program in Arizona, the state’s first Level I Trauma Center, Arizona’s first nationally verified burn center and our community’s first HIV/AIDS clinic.

You may know Valleywise Health as one of the nation’s best burn and trauma centers. But there’s another side. We’ve been a leader in behavioral health for over 50 years. We help people challenged by serious mental illness through three behavioral health centers and a network of mental health clinics.

We’re proud of our legacy of care and invite you to watch this video to learn more about how Valleywise Health has been serving our community for over 100 years.

Quality Care for Over 140 Years

When you or a loved one need medical care, Valleywise Health is here for you. For more than 140 years, we’ve been dedicated to caring for families and communities throughout the region. 

We offer a network of hospitals, behavioral health centers, Comprehensive Health Centers, and Community Health Centers across the Valley, ensuring you have easy access to the exceptional care you deserve. Whether you’re looking for specific services, finding a nearby location, or exploring career opportunities, we’re here to support you. If you need help or have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out – we’re always happy to help.

Patient Stories

As Arizona’s only nationally verified burn center, thousands of patients each year trust us to provide the specialized, outstanding care they need to begin their recovery. This video explores the trauma that severe burns can cause, both physically and mentally, as well as the road to recovery and the impactful, holistic care that the nationally-recognized Arizona Burn Center provides to our patients at Valleywise Health. Hear from patients whose lives have been upended by burns and restored by their care team, with the support of loved ones and through their own resilience.
