History
Paradise Valley Hospital was founded in 1904 by Ellen G. White, who helped to purchase 54 acres (220,000 m2) of land with the purpose of beginning a healthcare institution named Paradise Valley Sanitarium. This occurred during the health reform of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, who later turned the sanitarium into a full-fledged hospital. Over the years, PVH came to be known for providing charity care to the surrounding community which led to a growing deficit. As a result, it was sold to Prime Healthcare Services in 2006, making it part of a family of 17 other community hospitals owned by PHS.
