For more than 50 years, Chandler Regional Medical Center has focused on quality patient care and service to the community. The longest established hospital in the southeast Valley, Chandler Regional’s humble beginnings as a community hospital, which opened with only 40 beds, 25 employees and 91 volunteers, laid the foundation for the full-service acute-care hospital it has become. With 338 acute-care beds, more than 1,686 employees and 962 physicians representing all major specialties, Chandler Regional is a not-for-profit community hospital providing innovative and exceptional health care to East Valley residents. The hospital recently opened a new five-story tower with 96 patient beds, expanding emergency and trauma services, the surgical unit and intensive care offerings. Proud to be an important part of the local economy and an award-winning employer, Chandler Regional also gives back to local organizations through our Community Grants Program. Part of Dignity Health, one of the nation’s largest healthcare systems with more than 40 hospitals in Arizona, California and Nevada, Chandler Regional is home to a full range of services, including heart care, emergency care, maternity service, wound healing, clinical research, and diagnostic services, among others.
