Medical reputation has a nice ring to it

The editorial in the Republic discusses the latest successful surgery at Cardon Childrens Center and how it is an example of Mesa's growing "medical reputation." That kind of knowledge based reputation is exactly what we need to help expand and attract medical professionals to Mesa. It also the leg up we need to help us in the chase to land a medical school.

From the success of the childrens hospital to Banner Gateway earning the award as top cancer hospital, Mesa has an opportunity to become a medical destination for doctors, teachers, and even patients. As the society continues to age, medical breakthroughs and healthcare will be critical industries that will continue to grow. Indeed, this is exactly what the H in HEAT (Health care, Education, Aerospace, Tourism) is all about.
