Phoenix-based Maricopa Integrated Health System has partnered with the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Phoenix to become the school’s primary teaching, training and research hospital, according to an Arizona Republic report.
The arrangement, which took four years to negotiate, is expected to close when the Arizona Board of Regents adds its seal of approval with a final vote next month. The agreement is expected to take effect at the end of June.
Officials said it is important to establish a primary facility while the medical school is still young. It opened in 2007 and its first class graduated this month.
