Havasu Regional Medical Center’s 2024 community benefit report highlights its continued efforts to meet the growing healthcare needs of its community through welcoming new providers, expanding service lines and continually investing in its facilities and healthcare technology.

Havasu Regional Medical Center is also devoted to creating environments where providers want to practice, and employees want to work. In 2024, the hospital distributed more than $87 million in salaries, wages and benefits for its 760 employees; while contributing nearly $60,000 in professional development and tuition assistance so all its employees can have the opportunity to learn, grow and improve the care they provide their patients.

Last year, the organization paid $23,603,851 in local and state taxes, while also continuing its support of local activities and organizations committed to serving the region, including the Havasu Community Health Foundation, Heidi Edwards Cooking for Cancer, and the Western Arizona Humane Society.

We are also thankful for the hard work and dedication of our providers, employees and volunteers who make it all possible, “said Fitzgerald. “As we look ahead to the future, we remain committed to honoring our legacy while further enhancing the many ways we serve our neighbors and communities.”
