Gunnison Valley Hospital

What Gunnison Valley Hospital does

Gunnison Valley Hospital (GVH) is a 25-bed Critical Access Hospital founded in 1932 and headquartered at 64 East 100 North, Gunnison, Utah, serving the Central Utah communities of Gunnison, Manti, Salina, and surrounding areas in Sanpete and Sevier Counties. The organization operates as a non-profit or public entity governed by a local board (Chairman Casey Dyreng) and led by CEO Brenda Bartholomew, CFO Brian Murray, and CNO Jodi McKinlay, with 260 full-time employees making it one of the largest employers in the rural catchment. Service delivery is built around a hub-and-spoke model: a central hospital in Gunnison anchors 24/7 emergency, inpatient, and surgical care, while four Rural Health Clinic-designated family medicine locations (Mid-Utah Family Medicine, Main Street Family Clinic, Salina Family Medicine, and Gunnison Valley Family Practice and Wellness) and three pharmacy sites (hospital pharmacy, Manti Pharmacy, Salina Pharmacy) extend primary care and outpatient pharmacy across the region.

GVH's care portfolio spans emergency, labor and delivery, general surgery, home health and hospice, infusion therapy, sleep medicine, diagnostic imaging (including a newly installed in-house Philips Ingenia Ambition 1.5T MRI), and a network of visiting-specialty clinics covering orthopedics, oncology/hematology, urology, ENT, interventional pain, podiatry, ophthalmology, dentistry, physical therapy, and gynecology. Specialty depth is sourced through a combination of in-house physicians and partnership agreements, most notably a telehealth oncology/hematology arrangement with Intermountain Health (leveraging Dr. Rice) and a radiology services contract with Alpharad Inc; colocation with Revere Health clinics in Ephraim, Monroe, and Gunnison extends the effective service footprint.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service billing across inpatient, outpatient, emergency, surgical, and ancillary lines, accepting Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance with sliding-scale discounts for uninsured patients. In 2024 the hospital recorded 32,637 outpatient visits, 2,636 inpatient days, 4,023 ED patients, 1,864 surgeries and procedures, 9,087 home health visits, and 147 deliveries. Operating performance is supported by a 7% employee turnover rate (versus a 20.7% national healthcare average) and an 82% top-box HCAHPS patient satisfaction score, and the facility was recognized in 2016 and 2019 as one of iVantage Health Analytics' Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals. Customer-facing digital infrastructure consists of the MyCareCorner patient portal and PersonaPay online bill payment; no AI/ML capabilities, patents, or external funding are disclosed.
