Banner Thunderbird Medical Center

Banner Thunderbird Medical Center, a nonprofit hospital, is a 409-bed acute-care hospital offering an array of services. The health care professionals at Banner Thunderbird Medical Center in Glendale, Ariz., have served the Northwest Valley for more than 25 years.

Banner Thunderbird contacted Kitchens To Go in anticipation of a major renovation project that involved construction of a new 200-bed patient tower, a new main entrance, emergency department, cafeteria and fully remodeled kitchen. The challenge was to provide uninterrupted foodservice to patients, visitors, and staff.

KTG provided an innovative nine-modular complex to include two cooking modules with extensive cook lines, a preparation module, two serving modules, a dishwashing module, three cart storage modules, and an employee locker/restroom area.  Additionally, two walk-in coolers and three walk-in freezers are attached to the complex. This modular complex allows continuous foodservice to the Medical Center during the one year renovation.

“Our transition to the new kitchen was perfect; it had everything we needed and was very well designed.”
