Banner Health's clinical leader driving care innovation
By GlobeNewswire Published on June 13, 2025, 01:41 IST PHOENIX, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Marjorie Bessel, MD, chief clinical officer at Banner Health, has been recognized as one of Modern Healthcare's 50 Most Influential Clinical Executives for 2025. It is the third time in five years she has won this prestigious industry honor for her efforts leading Banner's clinical initiatives. Dr. Bessel brought together a diverse team to improve quality and access for patients who rely on the nonprofit health system across six western states. With daily teamwork, smart data, and strong collaboration across specialties, patients moved through the hospital and transitioned smoothly to the next step in their care—whether that's rehabilitation, home, or another facility. It's part of an organizational-wide effort to improve care agility and focus on interdisciplinary learning. This approach freed up space equal to 100 new beds, allowing Banner to care for nearly 10,000 more patients in 2024. 'Banner Health is a name synonymous with quality, and that's due in large part to the work of Dr. Bessel, whose 20-year career has been driven by a commitment to getting people home to their families safely and staying well in our communities,' said Banner Health President and CEO Amy Perry. 'We are not surprised by this recognition given our amazing team and attention to detail that Dr. Bessel brings to work every day.' Under her leadership, Banner Health achieved its lowest-ever clinician burnout rates in 2024, and the best in the nation according to the Maslach Burnout Inventory tool. Dr. Bessel brought 'joy' back to medicine through stronger support and celebration of clinical staff, helping them feel valued and energized so they can provide better care for their patients. One of Banner's most trusted leaders has become a go-to voice for health care experts statewide and nationally. By organizing important conversations about Arizona's public health challenges, she has driven positive change for patients and communities well beyond Banner's hospital walls. 'Becoming a clinician doesn't automatically prepare one for a leadership role, helping to guide an organization or an industry. The 50 clinicians chosen this year as the most influential, some newcomers and some we have recognized previously, are having an oversized impact,' said Mary Ellen Podmolik, editor-in-chief of Modern Healthcare. 'Their work is benefiting their own teams in terms of clinical advancements and financial results and is leading to better patient outcomes.' The annual list narrows in on the most influential professionals from among the health care industry ranks. Each has a unique story of innovation, leadership, advocacy, or clinical excellence to share. This year's 50 Most Influential Clinical Executives are profiled in the June issue of Modern Healthcare and online at About Banner Health Banner Health is one of the largest, secular nonprofit health care systems in the country with 33 hospitals and a premier academic delivery destination for patient care, research and teaching, Banner – University Medicine. Banner Health has a partnership with one of the world's leading cancer programs, MD Anderson Cancer Center, creating Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center. Banner's array of services includes a health insurance division, employed physician groups, outpatient surgery centers, urgent care locations, home care and hospice services, retail pharmacies, stand-alone imaging centers, physical therapy and rehabilitation, behavioral health services, a research division and a nursing registry.

3 new development projects are being built in metro Phoenix. Here's where
More housing and offices are being built in the West Valley. As the small but growing Goodyear continues to expand, developers have set their sights on the community to provide employment opportunities. A new medical office is being built in the city's new downtown corridor while an industrial park is under construction about five minutes away. And up in Surprise, those 55 and older will soon see a new apartment complex meant to support an active lifestyle. Here are some ongoing projects that West Valley residents can see progress in the coming months. Real estate developer Greystar is building an apartment complex for those 55 years and older called Album Surprise on the northeast corner of Paradise Lane and Parkview Place in Surprise. The new 161-unit community, spanning more than 4 acres, will include a mix of one- and two-bedroom floor plans up to 1,325 square feet, with some boasting views of the pool courtyard or Surprise Stadium, where spring training games are played. The complex will also include, among other amenities, a resort-style pool and heated spa, a fitness center, coffee bar, yoga studio, clubhouse and game and sports lounges with large-screen televisions. Greystar expects to begin accepting reservations for Album Surprise by September and open the complex by April 2026. Banner Health is working to open a new medical office within Goodyear's new civic square, or Goodyear GSQ. The 62,475-square-foot medical outpatient building will neighbor Goodyear's City Hall, library, parking garage and 2-acre community park, as well as a handful of existing and soon-to-open restaurants. It will also be Banner Health's first large, multispecialty health center in the city. Inside, the medical provider will offer primary care, orthopedic, cardiovascular and onsite lab and imaging services. Construction is expected to wrap by the third quarter of 2025. Formation Park 10 is an industrial park that Formation Interests and Crescent Real Estate are developing at Bullard Avenue and Celebrate Life Way in Goodyear. The project, which will include five buildings on 44 acres, is being constructed in multiple phases. The first will total 427,000 square feet across two buildings and is expected to be completed this spring. A park will also be included at the site to accommodate both workers in the buildings and the surrounding community. Like this story?

What's that building under construction in Goodyear's downtown GSQ district
Location: At 1800 N. Civic Square, on the northeast side of the McDowell intersection in downtown Goodyear. Description: A new medical office for Banner Health is being built within Goodyear's new civic square, or Goodyear GSQ. Real estate developer Ryan Companies US Inc. is constructing the 62,475-square-foot medical outpatient building in collaboration with Globe Corp., the owner and developer of GSQ. Banner Health's new digs are the first medical project to get underway in the new and expanding downtown district that generally sits north of McDowell, between 150th Drive and Bullard Avenue. The building will neighbor Goodyear's City Hall, library, parking garage and 2-acre community park, as well as a handful of existing and soon-to-open restaurants. It will also be Banner Health's first large, multispecialty health center in the city. Inside, the medical provider will offer primary care, orthopedic, cardiovascular and onsite lab and imaging services. History: After decades of working to create a downtown corridor in the city, Goodyear partnered with Globe to bring the concept to life on roughly 150 acres of former farmland north of Interstate 10. In 2021, the city and the Scottsdale-based real estate investment company broke ground on a 47-acre swath of the land to construct Goodyear's government buildings and park. A handful of restaurants soon followed, with others on the way. Much more development, including retail, a hotel and multi-family housing, will soon neighbor the existing Harkins Theatres near the eastern edge of the site, where an ill-fated mall project fizzled after nearly two decades of planning. When will the work be done? Banner Health's medical office is anticipated to wrap up construction by the third quarter of 2025. Like this story?
