Mayo Clinic, meanwhile, is embarking on a $648 million expansion that will nearly double the size of its Phoenix campus — paving the way for Phoenix Business Journal logo2,000 more high-paying health care jobs. A request for proposals has not yet been issued for that project. Dr. Wyatt Decker, CEO of Mayo Clinic in Arizona and a roundtable participant, said health care system growth isn’t just coming from in-state patients. Health care systems have spent millions of dollars to upgrade their specialties. “All of us in Arizona have, for a long time, appreciated that Arizona has a natural healing environment and is a place people love to come to have vacations, rest or live,” Decker said. “Imagine adding on top of that access to the best health care in the country. That’s our vision. That is what we’re doing now. We think it’s a very exciting time for Arizona.”

Reach: The Phoenix Business Journal is one of 61 newspapers published by American City Business Journals.
