Old Walgreens Distribution Center In Flagstaff To Become A Temporary Alternate Care Facility

The warehouse that formally was home to the Walgreens distribution center in Flagstaff will become and alternate care unit for patients. Northern Arizona Healthcare CEO Flo Spyrow says they are working with the National Guard to “determine whether or not to bring that online and exactly what it will be used for.” She adds “in all likelihood that site will care for patients that are discharged from Flagstaff Medical Center, but are unable to go home because of living conditions at home or are mildly ill and need a longer recovery or monitoring time period.” The facility was closed as the Walgreens center in 2014.
