n all, Banner has invested more than $230 million on Cardon Children's Medical Center at Banner Desert Medical Center, $38.5 million on an expanded emergency department at Banner Baywood Medical Center and $11 million on Banner Simulation Medical Center on the former Banner Mesa hospital campus.
"Obviously Banner has a lot of confidence and is very optimistic about the Mesa community," said Mesa Mayor Scott Smith. "Mesa probably has more Banner investment than any other place in the (hospital) system by far ... and it just shows that Banner confirmed what we've been saying. Mesa has a great future, and there's a lot of opportunity here."
Banner is Mesa's largest private employer, with more than 7,500 employees at Banner Desert, Cardon Children's, Banner Corporate Center, Banner Baywood and Banner Heart Hospital.
