Rising in Phoenix
Creighton is preparing students for a workforce that demands innovative care amid a rapidly changing world.
To extend the reach of this transformative education — to infuse more communities with our singular sense of service — Creighton heads west.
Creighton’s $100 million health sciences campus — opened in fall 2021 at Park Central in midtown Phoenix — serves as a four-year medical school and will accommodate nearly 900 students, including future physicians, nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists, pharmacists and physician assistants.

Arizona needs health care professionals now.
Arizona needs more health care professionals to meet the state’s booming population and the growing needs of aging and diverse demographics.
By 2030, Arizona is expected to have just one primary care doctor for every 1,500 people and a projected shortage of 50,000 nurses. Such shortages can result in dangerous delays in the diagnosis and treatment of our residents.
