As we move further into 2025, Summit Healthcare remains steadfast in its commitment to our communities. For more than 50 years, we have proudly served our patients with compassion, expertise, and unwavering dedication. Today, that legacy continues strong — thanks to the daily collaboration of every employee and provider and the support of people like you.
In recent weeks, there have been ongoing conversations within the community regarding the future of rural healthcare and the challenges that hospitals like Summit may face. We recognize and appreciate the passion and commitment that community members have shown through their advocacy and support.
Summit Healthcare is proud to be actively collaborating with the Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association (AzHHA) to address these challenges head-on. AzHHA, along with healthcare stakeholders across the state, is leading the charge to protect Medicaid and ensure that rural hospitals continue to thrive. We fully support these efforts and remain committed to working alongside our partners to safeguard healthcare access for all.
As your local healthcare provider, we value community input and understand that conversations around leadership, organizational decisions, funding sources, clinical specialties, and access to care can raise questions. Because of your support and the tireless efforts of our staff, Summit continues to operate from a position of strength. Our focus remains on providing high-quality, independent care while navigating a wide range of challenges responsibly and strategically.
The Governing Board at Summit Healthcare believes that the best way to support rural healthcare is through collaboration, transparency, a willingness to listen, and a commitment to our patients and community. We encourage everyone to stay engaged and continue advocating for the healthcare services our region deserves, as together we continue to build a strong, independent future for Summit Healthcare and the White Mountains.
