Surprise Valley Medical Center Adds Maternity Wing

Health officials in Surprise say the move is meant to keep pace with a fast-growing population and rising demand for local care.

"This is something our community has been asking for, and we're glad to finally see it come together," said Rachel Wilson, public health officer in Surprise.

The expansion is expected to add roughly 38 new positions, including clinical and support staff, and comes as regional population growth pushes demand for care to record levels.

"We're proud of what this means for Surprise and the people who live here." — Rachel Wilson

Patients are encouraged to check with their provider directly for scheduling as the new services come online.
