Valleywise Health (formerly Maricopa Integrated Health) is a comprehensive healthcare system with locations throughout the Valley, serving Maricopa County for 140+ years.

It consists of Maricopa Medical, the only Level I Trauma Center in Maricopa County; Arizona's only nationally verified Burn Center; McDowell Healthcare Center; the Arizona Children's Center; two behavioural health centres, and 12 neighbourhood Family Health Centres.

In 2019, AquaDesign Manufacturing (US) was approached by the Facilities Director of Valleywise Health to help solve some issues with their behavioural healthcare suites in the Maryvale Behavioral Campus. The campus was only a few years old but the stainless steel toilets used for the suites were already displaying signs of rust. To avoid this from happing again AquaDesign suggested to use  solid surface toilets from Wallgate as a better suited alternative. Besides a high damage-resistance the toilets also offer domestic appearance and are warm to the touch. Remodelling only one suite to start with, Valleywise Health decided to follow suit with all other behavioural suites within three months.

Impressed with the level of service, Virgil Reeves, Facilities Director of Valleywise Health, approached the team at AquaDesign again for his next upgrade project. He was looking to exchange the current prison-like showerheads of the entire Maryvale Campus to a suitable more home-like alternative. The GalvinCare 40691US showerhead was the perfect answer, offering a comfortable showering experience in a domestic/non-institutional looking environment.

Due to the positive experiences with AquaDesign and the products offered, Valleywise Health got in touch again for their 2020 remodel of the Maricopa Behavioural Health Annex. Wallgate's CWC solid surface toilets, AquaDesign's Wing Rx sinks as well as GalvinCare 42020 shower system were installed. With every room being different the AquaDesign Wing Rx sink was the perfect solution as its length can be manufactured to size. Offering a safe and comfortable showering experience for patients and caregivers, the GalvinCare 42020 shower system was not only ADA-requirements compliant but also eliminated the need to install a separate diverter, allowing to use the existing shower valve and water supply saving on redoing the plumbing and tyling in the shower cubicle
