Bullhead City Healthcare

State-of-the-art hospitals, outpatient facilities, urgent care options and ancillary providers are complimented by a wide-range of specialists. The newest technologies and modern facilities make the Colorado River valley a great place to live for people of all ages.

Western Arizona Regional Medical Center – Bullhead City
The opening of a hospital in Bullhead City came from a vision set forth by a group of community leaders known as the Colorado River Valley Community Hospital Association back in the early 1980s. By January 23, 1984, their vision materialized into 36-bed Bullhead Community Hospital that opened to meet the growing healthcare needs of the residents of the area. It didn’t take long for the hospital to double its size in 1988, and it was again expanded a decade later to 98 beds when it also took on a new name: Western Arizona Regional Medical Center (WARMC). Today, 23 years later, the 143-bed hospital continues to grow, change, add technology and prepare for the future.

One of the greatest assets of any business is the people working there. The hospital team of employees, physicians and volunteers focus on caring for the people in our river communities every day. WARMC has more 600 employees, a medical staff of 80 physicians and a volunteer force of over 110 individuals, who dedicate thousands of hours to helping patients. WARMC is the largest employer in Bullhead City/Mohave Valley with an economic impact of over $52 million annually. Millions of dollars have been spent on technology and expansion projects that are critical to meeting the demands of a growing area.

Improving the quality of life in the region is a commitment WARMC embraces. Its employees, physicians and volunteers donate thousands of dollars and hours of volunteer time to improvement projects, charitable organizations and schools to help make a difference. Keeping up with technology and advancements in services is another key to WARMC’s growth. Over the years, the hospital has opened a new Cardiovascular Lab, Medical Unit, Surgical Unit, Critical Care Unit, Outpatient Center and added two new CT scanners, MRI, and other technology.

WARMC knows it’s important to have qualified physicians serving our communities. Over the years, WARMC has recruited physicians to compliment the growth of the area and the shortage in many medical specialties. WARMC boasts a qualified medical staff and will continue bringing new physicians to the area.

In 2006, WARMC expanded to a 143-bed hospital and growth is continuing. The area’s largest Emergency Department, a new Intensive Care Unit were opened as well as an ambulatory surgery center. Plans for 2007 call for the opening of an Open MRI and a second cardiac catheterization lab. For more information, call (928) 704-6721 or visit www.warmc.com.

Valley View Medical Center – Fort Mojave
Valley View Medical Center is the Tri-State area’s newest hospital. It is a full-service, state-of-the-art medical campus with an around-the-clock emergency room, including an on-site air ambulance helicopter.

Each of Valley View’s 60 patient beds is in a private room equipped with cable television, including a special channel with patient information and tips.

Most major private and public insurance programs are accepted. No one is ever turned away based on ability to pay.

Valley View has six surgical units and a 12-bed outpatient care unit. A six-bed critical care unit provides a wide range of life supporting therapies for critically ill patients. Spacious labor and delivery suites are more like hotel rooms than hospital rooms, and each features a fold-down bed so that a family member can comfortably spend the night.

The inpatient and outpatient radiology and imaging center has 4D ultrasound, 16-slice CT-Scan, 1.5 Tesla MRI and nuclear medicine programs that are the envy of big city hospitals. The 10-bed inpatient rehabilitation unit provides a full range of physical, occupational and speech therapy services, including a whirlpool and outdoor therapy courtyard. The outpatient rehab complex adjacent to the hospital even includes a fitness pool for aquatic therapy.

Valley View is just south of Bullhead City and is a short distance from both Laughlin, Nevada and Needles, California. It is approximately two miles from the point where Arizona, California and Nevada come together. The hospital is located at 5330 S. Highway 95 in Fort Mohave.
