Desert View Hospital

Pahrump, NV

In 2025, Desert View Hospital marked its 20th anniversary as a critical access hospital via community-focused events, open houses, and recognition of long-tenured staff and volunteers. The hospital has maintained zero hospital-acquired infections for more than four consecutive years, a sustained infection prevention record that reflects consistent staff adherence to safety protocols across all departments. Desert View Hospital operates the largest nurse apprentice program of its kind in Nevada, through which more than 30 nurse apprentices have been hired into full-time registered nurse positions over the years, making the program a key recruitment and retention tool for the rural facility. The hospital received the 2025 “Distinguished Hospital Award” from the Nevada Donor Network and the 2025 Corporate Stewardship Award from the Nye Communities Coalition in recognition of its community partnership and civic engagement. Recent innovations include expanded outpatient preventive services, updated emergency department triage and patient flow processes to reduce wait times, upgraded patient care areas, updated imaging equipment and expanded telehealth services.
