Plans for Micro Hospital Get Green Light in Flagstaff

A new and somewhat small hospital could see construction next year on the northeast side of Flagstaff.

Members of the Flagstaff Planning and Zoning Commission have given their approval to a project that will see the building of a 44,700 square foot structure housing a small emergency room.

The facility will go up on a just under 5-acre site at 1895 N. Jasper Drive.

The project belongs to the Scottsdale-based Apricus Health Network and will also include space for offices and a laboratory and up to 8 patient beds.

Set to serve residents near the McMillan Mesa section of the city, the facility is being called a “micro hospital” by Apricus officials, with site space for both vehicle and bicycle parking.

Hospital space in the new micro hospital will comprise some 17,000 square feet.

Launched by a group of physicians, Apricus has locations of varying sizes, largely throughout southern Arizona. Earlier this year the company additionally announced plans to open centers in Houston.
​
To be designed by the Dalke Design Group of Tempe, the building’s exterior will feature earth tones, some stucco elements, and exposed masonry block.
