Sun Life set to open in new location Monday

The doors of Maricopa’s newest health center will be open for business a week before its open house and ribbon-cutting.

Sun Life Family Health Center is moving into its new digs at 44572 W. Bowlin Drive across from Copper Sky Recreational Complex. The doors open July 27.

The open house is set for Aug. 5, with a by-invitation crowd on hand for a ribbon-cutting that evening.

The new building is divided into family practice and pediatrics. A full pharmacy will move into the north end of the building later in the year, according to Practice Manager Angela Yellowhair.

She said there will be 12 examination rooms in the family practice section and six in the pediatrics side.

The 11,200-square-foot building was built by Alexander Building Company, Inc., of Scottsdale.

Sun Life community relations coordinator Lindsey Gemme said the health center “will grow from one physician and one family nurse practitioner to two of each, as well as introduce two new pediatric doctors in September.”
