Total Impact Exceeded $120 Million
BULLHEAD CITY, AZ – At more than 160,00 patient encounters last year, Western Arizona Regional Medical Center (WARMC) delivered on its commitment to provide quality healthcare for theTri-state community. The health system’s 2025 Community Benefit Report shows care extended well beyond the hospital and clinics, contributing more than $120 million to the region through charity/uncompensated care provided, capital dollars reinvested in services and facilities, employee payroll, charitable projects and payment of more than $10 million in taxes to support area schools and infrastructure.
The health system used its resources to increase access and strengthen services through nearly $4 million in capital projects. In support of women’s health, WARMC implemented a second mammography unit to reduce scheduling times, added surgical robotics equipment to the surgical suites, and began the addition of a new MRI unit. The reinvestment in services benefits local residents and serves as an important resource for patients who come from other hospitals that are 10, 50, or even as far as 90 miles away.
“We are here to care for our patients and the place we all call home,” said David Schott, chief executive officer of WARMC. “Health is central to quality of life, and we offer advanced medical services here in the Tri-state area to make it easy to access the care you need. It’s our privilege to transform lives every day, helping patients manage their health at every stage of life.”
Emergency medicine is a critical service, with more than 27,000 visits to the emergency room at WARMC. Life-saving medically necessary care was provided to all patients, regardless of their ability to pay, with more than $45 million in charity and uncompensated care in 2025.
The health system and its employees also support local organizations that make a difference, especially those addressing social determinants of health. Through service projects such as the annual Jars of Love Peanut Butter drive WARM collected more than 4,000 jars of peanut and other nut butters for four area food banks in three states, through their relationship with Bullhead Regional Food Bank. Contributions to charitable organizations such as River Fund, Meals on Wheels, and area schools, are other ways WARMC gives back to the community throughout the year.
Payroll of more than $56 million supports the delivery of around the clock care by a team of physicians, nurses and support staff, all passionate about serving patients. Their compassion and skills make a difference in the lives of neighbors, friends and the larger community.
“We have immense gratitude for every member of our team, and we are investing in resources to support them in their work and a culture that attracts and retains these talented people,” said Schott. “This team is passionate about delivering quality care to those who are counting on us. We have an unwavering commitment to patient safety, clinical excellence, and doing the right thing every day for those who trust us with their care.”
Support for the future healthcare workforce includes training the next generation of medical professionals. Along with its New Nurse Extern program, WARMC works with Mohave College, cultivating thecommunity’s future nurses, medical assistants and imaging service technologists.
