The Skinny on North Phoenix

Aug 17, 2008

If you've ever moved or thought about moving, you've probably worried about moving into a "bad neighborhood." A term that broad can mean all things to all people, and I try to avoid such generalities when telling Phoenix transplants about other parts of the valley. What does it really mean when a someone says that it's a "great neighborhood?" What does it mean when locals tell you to avoid a specific neighborhood?

Are you expecting to run into a certain stereotyped person? Rather than speculation and personal judgments, I look for the facts. Numbers don't lie, which is why Zipskinny is such a neat tool.

From emergency care to long-term illness, a quality hospital is at the heart of every strong community. Fortunately for residents in the Deer Valley area, they have the John C. Lincoln Health Network on their side.

John C. Lincoln Hospital in Phoenix, ArizonaLocated at 27th Avenue and Beardsley Road, John C. Lincoln Deer Valley Hospital is easily accessible from both Interstate 17 and the Loop 101 Freeway. A new health center in Anthem and the hospital on Central and Dunlap are also part of the JCL network.

John C. Lincoln's 174-bed hospital in North Phoenix is a small operation compared to valley giant Banner Health, which has a 397-bed hospital in Glendale and has locations in six other states.
