Program service description: yavapai regional medical center (yrmc) provides health, healing and hope for every man, woman and child living in our region through high quality inpatient and outpatient services as well as a wide range of valuable community outreach programs. Yrmc proudly serves the healthcare needs of people of all ages and from all walks of life. We're pleased to meet those needs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Yrmc's sole purpose is to provide high-quality healthcare for the communities we serve. There are no stockholders to whom we must pay dividends; we focus instead on the people we serve. The "dividends" they receive are healthier lives for themselves and those they love. Any money remaining after yrmc has paid its bills goes back into the organization to help expand programs and add new services for the people in our communities. Yrmc's vision is creating a total healing environment, in which the people associated with yrmc work in partnership with patients and their families who are seeking peace of mind and peace of heart as well as physical cure and comfort because we honor the indivisible relationship that exists between body, mind and the human spirit. The spirit of caring is a higher calling that resonated throughout yrmc in 2017. Yrmc's family which is comprised of board members, community leaders and advocates, philanthropic donors, employees, physicians and volunteers did not waver from this spirit of caring. Yrmc has two hospitals; one in prescott, yrmc west, and one in prescott valley, yrmc east.

The spirit of yrmc is one of treating each patient as a unique and valuable human being. Every one of the tiny newborns entering the world at yrmcs family birthing center is one of those special people. The frail elderly patients many of whom are centenarians are among those special people. The uninsured women diagnosed with cancer and who receive help from our breastcare center thanks to our community breast care fund are among those special people. Yrmc provides peace of mind and peace of heart year in and year out to all our patients, each one of whom is a special person. Yrmc also offers a patient assistance program to help people who have no insurance or who have limited insurance coverage.
