Carondelet ‘committed,’ but has no plans in Sahuarita

Special to the Green Valley News

The CEO of the Carondelet Foundation, Pamela Doherty, said the company “remains committed to this area, but there are no immediate plans” to build a proposed hospital in Sahuarita.

She added, “The Carondelet urgent care center in Sahuarita is happening, but there is no time table.”

Doherty was at Quail Creek on Thursday for a foundation luncheon with neurosurgeon Dr. Robert Goldfarb, who talked about the Carondelet Neurological Institute.

Carondelet, which owns land east of Town Hall, planned to open a hospital in 2011, but was sidetracked by the poor economy. An urgent care facility planned for Fry’s Marketplace was supposed to open in February, but also was put on hold.
