“We are pleased to welcome Banner Health to the Riverwalk development,” said Richard M. Gatto, executive vice president with Alter. “When completed, the project will be a destination center for athletes that provides key services dedicated to sports medicine in one location, making it unlike any other in the region.” Preliminary design is underway, with a planned opening in the fourth quarter of 2022.

We are proud to invest in the community and to be able to provide comprehensive sports medicine services under one roof to serve all athletes.” The development is in strategic alignment with Banner’s existing partnership with several prominent local athletic teams, including Arizona Diamondbacks, Phoenix Suns, Phoenix Mercury, and the University of Arizona.
