Mount Graham Regional Medical Center

What Mount Graham Regional Medical Center does

Mount Graham Regional Medical Center (MGRMC) is a community-owned, non-profit critical access hospital headquartered in Safford, Arizona, serving Graham and Greenlee counties since December 1973. The hospital operates a 25-bed main campus providing emergency/trauma care, ICU, imaging, cancer care, maternity, and surgical services, supported by affiliated wholly-owned clinics including Copper Mountain Clinic (family medicine), Mt. Graham OB/GYN (women's health, acquired 2023), Mt. Graham Surgical Associates (general surgery), and Roadrunner Rehab. In May 2025, MGRMC achieved Level III Trauma Center designation, joining only 9 Arizona hospitals with this status and upgrading from its prior Level IV designation. The hospital also recently invested in 3D mammography, negative pressure ICU rooms, and is preparing to open a Cardiac Cath Lab in August 2025.

Revenue mechanics are typical of a critical access hospital: patient service revenue from insurance reimbursements, Medicare/Medicaid (critical access designation provides cost-based reimbursement), self-pay, and philanthropic support through the MGRMC Foundation. No pricing is publicly disclosed, though the hospital maintains a pricing transparency page. The facility is governed by a 15-member community Board of Directors (5 elected by the community from the District Board), operates without any parent company or private equity backing, and is led by CEO Roland Knox with CMO Dr. Bart Carter (Trauma Medical Director) and CNO Lori Ray.

MGRMC has accumulated multiple state-level recognitions: PRC 4-Star Excellence in Healthcare Awards (2021, 2023), American Hospital Association Grassroots Champion Award (2024, to Danny Smith), and Arizona Level IV Trauma Program Medical Director and Manager of the Year (2025, to Dr. Carter and Shanna Cluff). The hospital is a 50-year member of the American Hospital Association. Its 2025 Community Health Needs Assessment outlines a strategic plan focused on expanding specialty services, enhancing mental health resources, and managing chronic disease.
