Carondelet Marana Hospital is located near the I-10 and Cortaro exit at 5620 W. Cortaro Farms Rd. and is staffed for with around-the-clock emergency physician, general surgery and hospitalist physician coverage.
Staff in all areas of the hospital have completed in-depth training along with drills and patient case scenarios in the past few weeks leading up to the opening.
The new hospital has created approximately 40 full-time equivalent clinical and support staff jobs, according to Schneider.
“We are anxious to begin providing care for our neighbors and friends,” said Kate Schneider, administrative director for Carondelet Marana Hospital. “This is an exciting opportunity for Carondelet Health Network to introduce this new model of care in Marana.”
