Valleywise Health

Valleywise Health traces its roots back to 1877, when Arizona was still a territory. That year, Maricopa County opened a pest house to treat persons afflicted with communicable diseases. Valleywise Health is the direct descendant from this pre-statehood beginning of public health care in Phoenix and Maricopa County. In October 2018, the organization announced that it would change its name from Maricopa Integrated Health System aka "MIHS" to Valleywise Health effective mid-2019.
