Maricopa County’s only public teaching hospital and safety net healthcare system.
Valleywise Health offers emergency and Level I Trauma services, operates the world-renowned Diane & Bruce Halle Arizona Burn Center, and is our community's largest provider of inpatient behavioral health care.
This November, voters in Maricopa County will be asked to vote on Proposition 409 – a $898 million bond to allow Valleywise Health to expand behavioral health services, increase inpatient and emergency room capacity, rebuild and expand community health centers to enhance physician training, build a replacement comprehensive health center, and make other infrastructure improvements.

Build a new 200-bed behavioral health hospital to replace the 50-year-old behavioral health annex on the main campus
-
Build a new outpatient specialty center on the main campus
-
Grow emergency services at Valleywise Health Medical Center, and
-
Enhance physician training.
Behavioral Health Expansion
Double inpatient capacity
Build a new 200-bed behavioral health hospital to replace the 50-year-old behavioral health annex on the main campus. Expand services for the seriously mentally ill by doubling the capacity for behavioral health on Valleywise Health’s main campus.
Emergency Services
Improve trauma & ER care
Increase Valleywise’s inpatient capacity to support the emergency and trauma services that serve people with severe life-threatening injuries and burns, including many of our fire and police first responders.
Doctor Training

Court-Ordered Treatment
Meet legal care needs
Improve patient care and increase services for those in need, including fulfilling our county’s growing need for court-ordered mental health evaluations and treatment.
