Dignity Health has plans to build a 300,000-square-foot medical campus at the site of the new Arizona Cardinals performance center and headquarters in north Phoenix.

Phase 1 of the medical campus is set to begin in 2027, with an opening expected for 2028.

Dignity Health currently partners with the Cardinals and has the naming rights of their existing facility in Tempe.

“Our long-standing relationship with Dignity Health is a profound win for the entire community,” Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill said in a press release. “We are both deeply rooted in Arizona and our shared commitment to health, well-being and community impact has transformed this project from a simple idea into something truly special. This isn’t just about constructing buildings — it’s about building a healthier future for our community.”

The first business to join the Cardinals at the site of their new facility near Scottsdale Road and the Loop 101 Pima Freeway, Dignity Health is planning a multiphase project that will feature two buildings and span eight acres of the 217-acre property.

The finished product, which will be Dignity Health’s largest outpatient campus, is expected to create 700 medical and support positions.

The campus will also include a sports medicine institute, services from Barrow Neurological Institute, orthopedics, cardiology, specialized primary care, executive health, imaging and outpatient surgery.

“This is a truly exciting moment for Arizona,” president of Dignity Health Arizona Anthony Houston said. “Our relationship with the Arizona Cardinals has been a cornerstone of our community engagement for years and this collaboration elevates it to an entirely new level.

“This new medical campus in North Phoenix will expand access to high-quality health care, serving not only professional athletes but every member of our community.”
