Carson Valley Health is a non-profit critical access hospital serving the Carson Valley and surrounding areas with six sites, more than 650 employees and a medical staff of more than 100. The hospital made history in 2025 as the first critical access hospital in Nevada designated as a level 4 trauma center, a milestone that also made Nevada the only state west of the Mississippi to have the designation. The hospital has maintained an operating margin above 7%, 290 days cash on hand, debt to capitalization under 25% and annual debt service coverage above 10 times over the past five years. It recently launched a transformative partnership with Siemens Healthineers to implement new state-of-the-art laboratory testing technology, becoming the first hospital in the nation to deploy that specific configuration, significantly enhancing diagnostic capabilities and reducing turnaround times. The hospital completed a three-year, 52,000-square-foot campus expansion in 2024, adding expanded cardiology services including a cardiac catheterization lab, additional operating rooms including gastroenterology suites, all-private inpatient and ICU rooms, and an 8,500-square-foot rehabilitation and outpatient therapy center. In 2025, employees contributed 2,200 hours in community service projects. CMS recently awarded Carson Valley Health its first 5-star Rating, having been a 4-star hospital for the prior two years.
