Prop 409: Valleywise Behavioral Hospital funding
Sept. 24
Proposition 409 and Valleywise Health will ask voters to invest $898 million to build a new, 200-bed behavioral health hospital, rebuild and expand community health centers, expand pediatric and primary care services, and support the training of the next generation of doctors. Valleywise is also our community’s largest provider of inpatient behavioral health care, especially for those with nowhere else to turn. According to Valleywise and Maricopa County, Prop. $ 409 would cost the average homeowner in Maricopa County approximately $29 per year.
Dr. Michael White, Executive VP & Chief Clinical Officer of Valleywise Health, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss more on the Prop 409 and why Valleywise is in favor of it.
