At no other time in history have there been more challenges and opportunities in health and patient care as there are today. Failing economy, pandemic possibilities and significant changes in healthcare delivery are looming over our heads. Battle Mountain General Hospital is committed to meeting these challenges head on. Our hospital continues to work with policy makers, planners and practitioners to mold and improve the future of the health care system. We all strive to be an excellent healthcare organization, providing quality care to our patients and our long term care residents.

Battle Mountain General Hospital has one purpose: to positively impact the health and well being of the people we are privileged to serve. As a community-based facility, we are dedicated to bringing our community the best healthcare experience. We recognize the growing need in our community to provide healthcare for the uninsured, underinsured, and underserved. We have developed a successful Community Care Program to help our neighbors obtain the healthcare they need. I am very proud that this program has allowed us to give back to our community; to ensure healthcare for patients and families that might otherwise go unattended.

Today, Battle Mountain General Hospital is embarking on a bold new expansion plan to enlarge our Emergency Department and modernize our Long Term Care Day Room. The expanded ER will have increased treatment capacity, a larger waiting room and traffic control for greater privacy and security. The Long Term Care Day Room will provide a new living area for our residents and their families and guests. We are pleased that our long term care facility allows local families the chance to keep their loved ones in the community.

Thank you all for supporting Battle Mountain General Hospital, Battle Mountain Clinic and BMGH Nursing Home. We continue to ensure the highest quality of care and keep pace with the rapid developments in healthcare today. It is our privilege to care for you and your family.
