Learn moreAbrazo Arrowhead Campus: a real, established local hospital
Abrazo Arrowhead Campus, located in Glendale, is a 270-bed hospital that opened in 1988 and is rated 'high performing' by U.S. News in select adult procedures and conditions, including heart arrhythmia treatment and prostate cancer surgery, with a stated focus on surgical robotics, cardiovascular care, and women's services.
Part of a broader regional health network
Abrazo Arrowhead Campus is part of the Abrazo Community Health Network, one of the largest healthcare delivery systems in Arizona, serving the greater Phoenix area from the West Valley through Paradise Valley and Peoria to Glendale -- giving Glendale residents access to a broader network of facilities beyond the single in-city hospital.
A specialized, non-Level-I designation worth noting
Unlike Level I trauma centers cited for some other Tier A markets in this dataset (e.g., WellStar Kennestone in Marietta, GA), this research pass did not confirm Abrazo Arrowhead Campus as carrying a Level I trauma designation specifically -- for the highest level of trauma or stroke care, residents should confirm the current designation and nearest Level I facility directly rather than assume Glendale carries the same tier of care as markets with a confirmed Level I center in-city.
