Local Attractions
Phoenix is the largest city in Arizona and the fifth largest in the USA. The metropolitan area covers almost 400 square miles and is home to 3.5 million people.
Eighteen cities, including Tempe and Scottsdale, comprise the greater metropolitan area known as The Valley of the Sun. Phoenix lies 1,200 feet above sea level, situated on the valley floor.
Contrary to most people's idea of a desert, Phoenix is actually a semiarid desert and is bordered on all sides by mountain ranges. Trees, such as palo verde, mesquite, and cottonwood, grow in abundance. Many colorful varieties of cactii bloom from April through June, including saguaro, golden barrel, prickly pear, and the majestic ocotillo.
Numerous cultural amenities, art museums, the Phoenix Symphony, and all of the sports facilities available in a large city can be found within a short drive of the hospital.
Comfortable living accommodations abound, whether apartment-style, condo, or single home dwellings. Residents may elect to live in many different community settings and usually learn to love the more relaxed Southwestern style of living and entertaining. Suits do not abound when the summer heat arrives, even for Grand Rounds presentations!
