Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego highlighted the growth and impact of the Arizona biosciences during her annual State of the City address May 20 in downtown Phoenix.

She praised the continued expansion of Phoenix Bioscience Core with ASU Health, which includes a new medical school; the $1.9 billion planned Mayo Clinic transformation; and the first graduating class from the Midtown campus of the Creighton University School of Medicine.

She also announced a new facility for Clin-Path Associates, PLC, which provides pathology services to area hospitals, and the launch of the University of Jamestown pathologists’ assistant master’s program. 

“Investments in the biosciences are bearing fruit . . . and it’s no time to rest,” Gallego said. “Phoenix is committed to advancing medicine and improving health care outcomes for all Arizonans . . . whether you live in Phoenix, Flagstaff or the Navajo Nation.”
