Northern Arizona Healthcare (NAH) announced that it will be hosting two public listening forums to hear the community’s thoughts on what they feel would be the best use of the current Flagstaff Medical Center (FMC) campus, if and when the hospital relocates to a new location. Members of the Flagstaff community are encouraged to attend with thoughts or ideas for the current campus and how it might be best utilized for the community. No RSVP necessary.
Wednesday, Oct. 29
- Noon – 1 p.m.
- McGee Auditorium on the FMC Campus
- 1200 N. Beaver St., Flagstaff, AZ 86001
Thursday, Oct. 30
- 6 – 7 p.m.
- McGee Auditorium on the FMC Campus
- 1200 N. Beaver St., Flagstaff, AZ 86001
There will not be a virtual option to attend the forum as we are interested in having conversations and discussions as a group about the physical environment we will be seated in – the existing hospital property.
NAH is committed to delivering high-quality health care close to home for the patients and communities we have the honor to serve. To meet the long-term needs of the region, it is necessary to build a new hospital to replace the current infrastructure. NAH has been listening to the community in the past two years, and has modified the site search based on public feedback. NAH is committed to building a hospital to serve the region for the coming decades, but will not propose any hospital-adjacent construction or property uses. NAH is no longer proposing the retail and commercial development that was included in its 2023 proposal.
NAH also heard from the community that one significant objection to the proposal to move to a new site was that it didn’t clearly articulate what would happen with the current FMC property on North Beaver Street. This time, NAH is seeking feedback about what to do with the FMC property before making any announcements about proposed new locations. NAH looks forward to hearing more from the community about what they think would be best for FMC’s campus if and when the hospital relocates.
