PHOENIX – Banner Health broke ground today on a 29,350 square-foot health care clinic in Phoenix, across from Desert Ridge Corporate Center. 

The new clinic will provide primary care services, dermatology services with spa and laser treatments and X-ray imaging. It will have 30 exam rooms, an independent laboratory and a conference room. 

“We are excited to become part of the Desert Ridge community,’’ said Mystie Johnson Foote, MD, chief executive officer for Banner Medical Group. “We can offer our new community convenient, high-quality care for individuals and their families.’’

This will be the first Banner Health clinic to provide dermatology and medical-spa amenities. The medical spa rooms will be designed to enhance patients’ experience and comfort during their aesthetic procedures. 

The health care clinic will open December 2017 due to an expedited construction schedule. It will be located between Irma Lane and the Loop 101, west of Tatum Boulevard and adjacent to Mountainside Fitness. 

Ryan Companies is developing, building and financing the project.
