Valleywise Health (formerly Maricopa Integrated Health System)[1] is a network of taxpayer-funded hospitals and medical facilities in Maricopa County, Arizona.

History

Maricopa Integrated Health System was founded in 1991 in Maricopa County, Arizona. It is descended from the county health care system started in 1877 as a pest house, for persons afflicted with communicable diseases.[2] The county's residents approved the formation of a special health care district in 2003. The members of the board of directors are appointed through elections and serve as county public officials.[1]
