Looking ahead toward a greater presence in the Phoenix area, the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center has appointed a 16-member board to oversee its Greater Phoenix operations.
Board Chairman Richard Silverman called the AHSC expansion in the downtown area “a win, win situation for Phoenix and Tucson,” according to the Business Journal. Silverman, general manager at Salt River Project, will head the diverse board comprised of academic, health care, scientific, corporate, and philanthropic community leaders of local and national repute.
As the biosciences sector of downtown Phoenix continues to expand, the AHSC Phoenix campus will be an increasingly important arm of the UA College of Medicine, linking the three state universities and private partners with regional teaching hospitals.
