In 1984, First Lady Nancy Reagan stood at the ribbon-cutting of Scottsdale Memorial North—today’s HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea Medical Center. That moment was a milestone not only for the community but also for Kitchell’s deepening relationship with local healthcare providers.
Over the years, Kitchell built a legacy with two separate health systems serving Scottsdale and the northern Phoenix metro area: John C. Lincoln and Scottsdale Healthcare. When those systems came together to form HonorHealth, so did our history—uniting into a portfolio of more than 2.5 million square projects across 12 hospital campuses.
From welcoming a First Lady in 1984 to continuing work at the Shea campus today, our story with HonorHealth is one of shared growth, endurance, and partnership.
