As Maricopa County’s only public teaching health system, Valleywise Health (formerly Maricopa Integrated Health System) has served as a critical health care safety net for nearly 150 years. These two new care clinics are about 14 miles apart, and are both single-story, 26,000-square-foot buildings on three-acre sites.

The projects share many similarities, but they have some key differences. The project locations, design features and services offered at each clinic were targeted toward community-specific health needs. These range from diabetes care to education on living a healthy lifestyle. The design concepts for each facility were aimed toward creating a welcoming atmosphere and patient experience. The Reyez and DWL teams worked cohesively to ensure that cost-effective solutions to these initial concepts were maintained through the entire construction process.
