Tempe in everyday life

Could Tempe work for you?

What may work well

  • Tempe’s published healthcare, hospital, primary care, pharmacy, and emergency rows are Excellent.
  • The local directory lists 45 HRSA primary care sites, 40 pharmacies, 67 selected Medicare specialists, 31 Medicare emergency hospitals, and 3,093 reported beds.
  • The local rows identify nursing, home health, hospice, dialysis, ambulatory surgery, psychiatric, home infusion, ambulance, MDPP, and federally qualified health center routes for verification.

What to think about

  • A 1.1 mile nearest HRSA site and 3.1 mile nearest listed emergency distance do not establish travel time, appointment access, coverage, or outcomes.
  • Excellent access labels and a nearest CMS rated hospital row of 2 of 5 stars answer different questions and should not be reconciled into a promise.
  • The Recommended car, 30.8 percent age 65 plus disability row, high heat, and heat protected travel make the route from home to care important.

Turn Tempe care references into a personal route

  1. Identify primary care and registration

    Contact the HRSA listed practice, confirm plan acceptance, registration, referrals, language, records, prescriptions, hours, cooling needs, and after hours instructions.

  2. Contact both named hospital routes

    Review Banner Desert and HonorHealth Tempe’s own information, then ask about coverage, transport, departments, referrals, records, parking, and follow up.

  3. Map everyday and advanced care

    Place pharmacies, specialists, 31 listed Medicare emergency hospitals, 43 nursing homes, home health, hospice, dialysis, psychiatric care, home infusion, FQHCs, and family help on the home route.

  4. Plan support through summer

    Discuss disability, mobility, home visits, medication storage, cooling interruptions, heat protected travel, insurance, language, and who would help after a hospital visit.
