About
Fountain Hills spent decades without an emergency room. Getting to one meant a drive down Shea Boulevard at the worst possible moment. We were built so that our neighbours never have to make that drive again.
In an emergency, distance is the diagnosis
In a heart attack, a stroke, or a serious bleed, survival is measured in minutes. For years, the nearest emergency room was a long drive from Fountain Hills — through traffic, over a mountain pass, with a frightened family in the car.
Fountain Hills Emergency Room and Medical Center closed that gap. We are a fully equipped, freestanding emergency room with board-certified providers on site 24 hours a day, and a primary care Medical Clinic under the same roof — so the same team that treats the emergency also handles the follow-up.
We are not a hospital and we are not an urgent care. We are the emergency room this community built for itself, plus the everyday doctor’s office that keeps people out of it.
Four commitments we can be held to
Always open
Our emergency room has never had closing hours. Nights, weekends, holidays — a physician is here.
Answers on site
CT, X-ray, and a full laboratory in this building — so decisions happen while you are still here.
Treated as neighbours
Our staff live here. The people in our waiting room are the people in our grocery store and on our hiking trails.
Honest about cost
Emergency care is billed at emergency rates. We say so up front and explain your bill in plain language.
Fountain Hills and its neighbours
Patients come to us from across the northeast Valley — year-round residents, winter visitors, and people who simply happened to be nearby when something went wrong.
