Local healthcare landscape in Phoenix
Phoenix is divided into 15 urban villages, each with a Village Planning Committee appointed by the Mayor and City Council. Their names include Ahwatukee Foothills, Camelback East, Maryvale and Laveen. Healthcare and research activity is spread across several bioscience hubs that city staff support: Mayo Clinic's Discovery Oasis, the Phoenix Medical Quarter and Midtown, the Phoenix Bioscience Core, and the Cotton Center. The Bioscience Core campus downtown came out of a collaboration among the Arizona Board of Regents, the City of Phoenix, TGen and Phoenix-area teaching hospitals, on property the City donated. That campus is tied to the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Phoenix, which used downtown Phoenix as a regional campus before its four-year program began.
