Locations [edit]
Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center [edit]
The hospital's new tower opened in 1982.
"Built in downtown Phoenix, the Good Samaritan Hospital consisted of a twelve-story monolithic concrete bed tower, which rested on a lower, rectangular ancillary building housing support services. The ancillary building, a concrete framed structure with windowless walls of sprayed concrete, contained the functional support elements such as surgery, emergency, laboratory, labor-delivery, admissions and administration. A system of bridges connected the ancillary building support services with the appropriate bed floor.
Typical of Goldberg's health care facility designs, which placed the nurse at the heart of the design, he organized the 720 bed patient tower into patient "clusters." Each floor contained sixty beds, which were distributed in four separate fifteen-bed clusters organized around a nurse's station. A nurse administrator connected two clusters. The hospital was the first phase of a more extensive thirty-acre comprehensive health care and community development program, of which only parts were implemented."[9]
The Medical Center is also home to several residency training programs including Obstetrics and Gynecology, Internal Medicine, Surgery, Psychiatry, Orthopedic Surgery, Family Medicine and Pharmacy.[10]
