Boulder City Hospital has been a cornerstone of healthcare in our community since its founding in 1931. Originally established to serve the workers and families involved in the construction of the Hoover Dam, the hospital has continuously adapted to the evolving needs of Boulder City. In 1954, we became a nonprofit, dedicated to providing compassionate, quality care as a Critical Access Hospital.
Boulder City Hospital proudly serves the community as the only rural hospital in Nevada not supported by a taxing district, mining dollars, or a corporate health system. Our continued success relies on private donations and community support to fulfill our mission of promoting health and well-being. Conveniently located in the heart of historic Boulder City, our 82-bed facility offers prompt, personalized care with easy access from I-11, I-215, and I-515.
Boulder City’s Trusted Partner for Care Since 1931
For over 90 years, Boulder City Hospital has remained dedicated to providing compassionate, quality healthcare to the community. As a nonprofit, we prioritize the health and well-being of every patient through equitable, personalized care. This commitment serves as the foundation of our mission and the guiding principles that drive us forward.
