William Bee Ririe Hospital

What William Bee Ririe Hospital does

William Bee Ririe Critical Access Hospital and Rural Health Clinics is a private, not-for-profit rural healthcare system headquartered at 1500 Avenue H in Ely, Nevada, operating one 24/7 Critical Access Hospital and three rural health clinics (Ely, Eureka, and Crescent Valley) that together serve White Pine County and Eureka County. The organization delivers a broad range of services — emergency and inpatient care, outpatient diagnostics (CT, MRI, mammography, ultrasound, X-ray, bone densitometry), a certified laboratory, rehabilitation and physical therapy, swing-bed skilled nursing, visiting specialty clinics (cardiology, OB/GYN, general and orthopedic surgery, pain management, podiatry, ENT, urology, endocrinology, psychology), chemotherapy infusion, and a PTNS neuromodulation program — for a small, geographically dispersed rural population that would otherwise face long travel to urban tertiary centers.

The system's underlying technology stack centers on telehealth infrastructure (high-definition cameras and audio in the nursery linking to Intermountain Health / Dixie Regional Medical Center neonatologists 24/7), electronic medical records, and a Meditech-hosted patient portal for records access, scheduling, and bill pay. Strategic partnerships extend clinical reach without on-site specialist headcount: Intermountain Health for neonatology, Sanderling Renal Services (with Sierra Nevada Nephrology as medical director) for in-center and home dialysis at the Sanderling Dialysis Center of Ely, and visiting specialists across multiple disciplines.

WBRH operates as a direct-to-consumer provider with revenue from patient care services, professional services for specialty clinics and chemotherapy infusions, and dialysis services delivered through the Sanderling partnership. Critical Access Hospital status confers cost-based Medicare reimbursement, supplemented by a county-funded 75% lab subsidy for White Pine County residents (effective October 2024), a clinic sliding-fee scale, and a financial assistance program. The hospital is governed by a Board of Trustees chaired by Dr. Michael Mugosa, with executive leadership including CEO Matthew Walker, CNO Pam Adzima, and COO Beth Humphries. No venture capital, private equity, or parent company ownership is indicated; community donations are accepted via PayPal.
