Exceptional Healthcare officials laid the foundation stone for a new community hospital in Yuma on Friday.
Texas-based Exceptional Healthcare is building its second Arizona facility in Yuma.
They say it will include a specialist internal medicine hospital, 24-hour emergency room, and outpatient and inpatient hospital beds, among other things. It is on Araby Road just north of Interstate 8 and the roundabouts.
“I think this represents an additional health care asset that will be an important part of the community health continuum,” said Bruce McVeigh, chief operating officer, Exceptional Health Care.
Exceptional chief financial officer Saeed Mahboubi said residents of Yuma are underserved and currently have long waits for medical care. Mahboubi said the new Yuma Hospital will serve residents of the area, particularly those in eastern Yuma and the foothills.
The $ 18 million Yuma plant is expected to employ between 60 and 100 people and is slated for completion in the spring of 2022.
