Health land purchase okayed by subcommittee
The Maricopa County Comprehensive Health Planning Council advanced John C Lincoln Hospital’s bid to buy 15 acres at 42nd Street and Cactus Road in Northeast Phoenix. The panel stressed approval of land purchase does not imply hospital approval and won’t bind future decisions, including a North Scottsdale project. A parallel suit by North Scottsdale Medical Facilities Ltd challenges the council’s certificate of need authority, arguing the Lincoln purchase seeks a monopoly and stifles competition while Scottsdale’s 160 bed plan at Pima Road and Shea Blvd faces recommended denial.
