After years of planning, building, waiting, practicing, and preparing, all the hard work came together as Valleywise Health Medical Center care teams moved more than 220 patients from the legacy “county” hospital into a state of the art, modern medical center. It all began at 3 a.m. on June 13, 2024, as one by one, the teams carefully moved patients in beds or wheelchairs from each unit – ending the day with the smallest patients from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), and pediatric departments. It took an average of 3 minutes to move each patient — more than twice as fast as anticipated! It was a collective effort across many teams and from many people. A true representation of Valleywise Health’s commitment to advancing healthcare, embracing innovation, and ensuring that every patient receives the best possible care in an environment designed to meet their needs. Providing exceptional care, without exception, every patient, every time.
