The new women’s and children’s tower will connect to the existing Mercy Gilbert Hospital and contain a mix of antepartum, labor and delivery, and postpartum beds, as well as a newborn nursery, OB and pediatric emergency, PICU, NICU, imaging, surgery and a central plant expansion.

The two institutions will remain separate, in both operations and brand, but have aligned their vision and missions to provide a seamless patient experience under one roof. Design inspiration draws upon the flow and movement of the natural landscape of Arizona using sculpted forms and layering of design elements.
To bolster women and children’s health services in the Phoenix metropolitan area, Dignity Health and Phoenix Children’s Hospital are combining their expertise in one location to create the Dignity Health Mercy Gilbert Medical Center, Women’s and Children’s Tower. The new 382,000-square-foot bed tower will be located on Dignity’s Mercy Gilbert Campus in the East Valley area of Phoenix.
The five-story tower will contain a mix of 206 inpatient beds, labor and delivery rooms, and an emergency department (ED) dedicated to obstetrics. Pediatric services will include a pediatric ED and OR and a Level 3 NICU.
Delivered via a fast-track design-build model, the project timeline is three years from beginning to completion, which is expected in December 2020. CannonDesign is the architect and interior design firm on the project.
