PHOENIX - Dec. 6, 2018 - PRLog -- McCarthy Building Companies Inc (http://www.mccarthy.com/). recently broke ground on the new hospital to be built on the HonorHealth Sonoran Medical Center campus at Interstate 17 and Dove Valley Road in north Phoenix. Today, the 210,000-square-foot campus expansion project marks the commencement of construction on the 155,000-square-foot, three-story inpatient hospital that will initially add nearly 40 new patient beds with the ability to expand as needs for services increase.
