Greenbaum Specialty Hospital
Scottsdale, AZ
Scottsdale Healthcare’s new Greenbaum Specialty Hospital, located on the Osborn campus, was designed to meet the outpatient and short-stay needs of patients and physicians in a convenient, healing environment. Several key factors were met in the new, ground-up facility to provide efficiency to this highly populated area. One strategic direction that influenced the initial design was a licensing issue that prevented prompt payment by third party and regulatory agencies. To facilitate reimbursement policies, a specialty hospital license was secured, thus, directing the 60,000 SF facility’s plan. The new building includes twelve operating rooms, PACU, pre-op, twenty-six 72-hour recovery beds, hospital and individual department administration, lobby, and public spaces. Meetings with area residents, merchant groups, and facility users determined the initial design direction. Keeping in character with Old Town Scottsdale, the design incorporates the same building materials and pedestrian accents to provide a gateway to the campus while providing consistency with the downtown area.
