Local healthcare landscape in Scottsdale
Scottsdale plans by character area, and the city has adopted area plans for Old Town, the Greater Airpark, Shea, the Cactus Corridor, Southern Scottsdale, the Desert Foothills and the Dynamite Foothills. Those names are a practical way to describe where a practice sits. On the clinical side, Mayo Clinic's Scottsdale location offers outpatient surgery, laboratory space, diagnostic testing, imaging and pharmacy services, and the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine is among its educational facilities. The city's economic development plan calls Mayo Clinic a significant anchor institution for the city and region, says Scottsdale has a long history as a healthcare center, and names medical tourism as a significant opportunity. HonorHealth also operates Scottsdale Thompson Peak Medical Center, located north of Loop 101 and Scottsdale Road.
