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.
