About the Facility

Whiteriver Indian Hospital is a 40-bed, Joint Commission–accredited acute care hospital on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation, serving the White Mountain Apache Tribe. It's the largest full-spectrum family medicine hospital in the Indian Health Service. It has a 24/7 Level IV Trauma ED with about 40,000 ER visits a year, an active OB/Labor & Delivery program, ambulatory surgery, and a teaching program that includes lab students. A $680M replacement hospital is now in procurement.

The hospital sits at 5,800 feet in the White Mountains, with four seasons, trout streams, hiking, and Arizona's largest ski resort nearby. Show Low and Pinetop-Lakeside, about 25–30 miles north, have full shopping, dining, and lodging. Phoenix is about 2.5 hours away.
