A new hospital for the Gila Valley

Patient demand across Graham and Greenlee counties has grown rapidly over the past six years. To keep up, MGRMC is building a new, approximately $250 million hospital directly west of our current Safford campus, on land donated to the hospital in 1971 for this very purpose.

The new hospital expands surgery and emergency capabilities and creates room for new providers and service lines, including an all-new urology program launching in 2027.

Planned opening

In 1973, Graham County voters formed a hospital district to build the area’s first true hospital. More than 50 years later, we’re carrying that commitment forward, keeping excellent care close to home.

Community Health Needs Assessment
& Strategic Implementation Plan

Our mission is driven by the specific needs of the people we serve. In 2025, we conducted a comprehensive Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) to identify the health priorities, strengths, and opportunities within our region.

Our Strategic Implementation Plan serves as the roadmap for addressing these findings. This framework focuses on expanding specialty services, enhancing mental health resources, and managing chronic disease through dedicated partnerships and community-wide wellness initiatives.

Mt Graham Regional Medical Center has been there for my family in the most amazing times and in the scariest times, from having babies to surgery and even a nail to the head; they were there. I’m so thankful to have such an incredible facility so close to home, one that we can rely on for all of the ups and downs in our lives!

There is no better care, compassion, and concern for patients than the personnel at MGRMC. The reputable and sought out doctors along with the surgical and nursing staff are exceedingly competent and highly skilled. I felt an immediate sense of love in wanting to make sure all my needs were met. The Gila Valley's hometown medical staff provide a feeling of warmth and dedicated services to all their patients.
