Category: Hospitals & Clinical Research Institutions

Banner Gateway Medical Center, which opened in Gilbert, Ariz. in September 2007, is Banner Health’s newest state-of-the-art hospital.

The medical center employs around 1,000 employees and focuses on obstetrics, general surgery, emergency services and other services according to community need. Banner Gateway Medical Center offers 176 private rooms, eight operating suites and a 37-bed Emergency department. The 60-acre campus was built with room to triple in size with the capacity to add two patient towers and coordinating support services.

Additionally, the hospital incorporates state-of-the-art technology such as a completely electronic medical record. This includes computerized physician order entry – an electronic system that eliminates paper charts and allows doctors to automatically update patient information and place medication orders, subsequently reducing and eliminating medical errors. We are also the first in the country to offer an extra type of monitoring, iCare, for our medical/surgical patients as well as intensive-care patients.

With a canyon theme to bring the peacefulness of nature indoors and create a warm and welcoming environment, the medical center features family-friendly visitor spaces, outdoor areas and private rooms with living space for visiting families. Room service for patients and families and access to the Internet are just a few of the patient room amenities contributing to the healing environment.
