Background
The idea for a Phoenix Childrens Hospital was born in 1978 when members of the Maricopa Pediatric Society began discussing the need for a kidsonly hospital Phoenix was the ninth largest metropolitan area in the country with excellent health care facilities in some 23 hospitals But while most of them offered some type of pediatric care the pediatricians knew this was not good enough A childrens hospital was needed

Then a bold idea was proposed to locate the childrens hospital on the campus of an existing hospital thereby saving enormous sums of money and gaining an efficiency of resource use that was well ahead of its time

Phoenix Childrens Hospital opened within Good Samaritan in 1983 and operated as an independent hospital there for almost 20 years Facing steady growth and an opportunity to establish its own campus Phoenix Childrens purchased a 22acre site originally occupied by the Phoenix Regional Medical Center in 1999 to build a freestanding childrens hospital Phoenix Childrens began operations as a freestanding specialized pediatric hospital in May 2002

Today Phoenix Childrens is the only freestanding pediatric hospital in Arizona and one of the 10 largest hospitals of its kind in the United States
