GANADO, AZ – The Navajo Health Foundation – Sage Memorial Hospital Board of Directors is proud to
announce plans for the development of a new hospital campus, which will officially break ground in September 2020 and planned for completion in December 2021.
The development of the new facility will include a two-story hospital building, two-story medical office building totaling 120,000 sq. ft, and will also include new on-site staff housing situated on an 18-acre site with additional parking.
“For many years, Sage Memorial Hospital has discussed and explored the opportunity to expand services and build a new hospital campus. Together, Executive Management and the Board of Directors are moving towards making this vision a reality for Sage Memorial Hospital. We are proud to announce this milestone, which when completed, will allow for the expansion of services while continuing to improve the quality of healthcare for the Navajo people,” said Netrisha Dalgai, Chief Operating Officer for Sage Memorial Hospital.
The new hospital development will be a significant economic impact for the Ganado area, creating new employment opportunities throughout construction. Additionally, the hospital is expected to create approximately 100 new jobs for Navajo people.
The General Contractor for the project is Layton Construction, based in Phoenix, AZ and Salt Lake City, UT. Layton has an extensive background and track record in successfully developing hospitals and healthcare clinics in rural areas.
On July 16 and 17, Sage Memorial Hospital and Layton Construction hosted a Sub-Contractor and Labor Fair on the hospital campus. The event provided an opportunity for Sage Memorial Hospital to present the plans for development and opportunities for employment. Layton Construction highlighted the timeline for development, process for employment and process for Navajo-owned businesses to participate in the project bidding. Approximately, 200 tribal members participated in the event.
