• HonorHealth has completed a $170 million renovation and expansion at HonorHealth Deer Valley Medical Center in north Phoenix. 
• The hospital expanded to 238 beds from 204, anchored by a new four-story, 166,000-square-foot patient care pavilion. 
• Campus upgrades include four new operating rooms, expanded pre- and post-op areas, and a redesigned main entrance and lobby.  
• Remaining elements, including a new first-floor cafeteria and renovated kitchen, are expected to open this summer, with a ribbon-cutting planned later in 2026.  

PHOENIX — HonorHealth has completed work on a $170 million renovation and expansion at HonorHealth Deer Valley Medical Center, a project the nonprofit health system said is designed to increase capacity and modernize care environments for the growing north Phoenix community. 

Launched in 2023, the effort includes a new patient care pavilion, added inpatient beds, expanded surgical capacity and upgrades to campus arrival and support services. 

With the expansion, the medical center increased capacity from 204 beds to 238 patient beds. At the center of the work is a new four-story, 166,000-square-foot patient care pavilion, alongside renovations and additions across the campus.  

“This expansion is about more than growing our footprint, it’s about strengthening our ability to care for our community,” said Matt Morgan, administrator of HonorHealth Deer Valley Medical Center, according to an article from HonorHealth.  

In addition to the pavilion, the campus upgrades include four new operating rooms, expanded pre- and post-operative areas, a redesigned main entrance and lobby, and updated amenities intended to improve navigation and comfort for patients, visitors and team members.  

Local officials also tied the expansion to broader population growth in the area. “As north Phoenix grows, so does the need for accessible, high-quality healthcare,” said Phoenix City Councilwoman Ann O’Brien, according to an article from HonorHealth.

The $170 million investment was delivered over a two-year period. A new, one-story support services building added nearly 23,000 square feet and was completed in August 2024, including a larger loading dock, a dedicated team member and vendor entrance, and a tunnel connection intended to support more efficient service delivery. Meanwhile, a two-story addition to the surgery area added 14,000 square feet and four operating rooms and was completed in January 2025. The ongoing pavilion construction is expected to accommodate 34 new patient beds, expand and renovate departments including food services, lab and pharmacy, and include shelled space on multiple floors for future growth.  

The final project elements, including a new first-floor cafeteria and renovated kitchen, are expected to open this summer. A ribbon-cutting and grand opening celebration is planned for later in 2026.
