Dignity Health Gilbert Mercy Medical Center on Dec. 16, 2025.

Dignity Health says about 700 jobs will be created when it builds a medical campus in north Phoenix where the Arizona Cardinals have broken ground on a new headquarters.

The Cardinals bought more than 200 acres near Scottsdale Road and the Loop 101, which the team envisions as a mixed use development anchored by the club’s performance center and business operations.

Now Dignity Health says it is the first to join the project and has plans for a medical campus anchored by two buildings.

Officials plan to offer a wide range of programs, such as sports medicine, specialized primary care and outpatient surgery.

Phase one of construction is scheduled to start next year with opening anticipated in 2028.
