Last week, 300 health, business and civic leaders gathered with St. Joseph Health, St. Mary leaders to break ground on its new $261 million medical center, the St. Mary Victorville campus. St. Joseph Health, St. Mary Victorville is designed with a Level 3 Trauma Center – the first in the High Desert – and 128 private rooms.

When the new medical center opens in 2016, the Apple Valley campus will continue to operate as an acute-care hospital. Together the two St. Mary campuses will have 328 beds, and care for approximately 225 patients each day including more than 216,000 outpatient visits a year.

“It is an honor to stand here today and see the beginnings of a new medical center that will continue the work of improving the lives of High Desert residents and future generations,” said Alan Garrett, president and CEO of St. Joseph Health, St. Mary. “We at St. Mary believe the care provided to all of our friends, families and community is sacred, and we are privileged to serve all who call the High Desert home.”

Along with the medical center, St. Joseph Health, St. Mary is building a medical office building and ambulatory care center. This is the first phase of the campus and is expected to be completed in 2016.
