About Us

Carson Valley Medical Center (CVMC) is YOUR COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, providing quality healthcare to the residents of Carson Valley and surrounding areas. A joint partnership of Barton HealthCare System of South Lake Tahoe and Renown Health of Reno, CVMC is a non-profit state accredited critical access hospital with 23 licensed patient beds.

History

In the early 1990s, the high demand for medical services in the Carson Valley resulted in a plan to provide these much needed services to the area. That plan was Carson Valley Medical Center (CVMC). CVMC opened its doors in December 1993. The medical center brought primary care, family and internal medicine physicians, as well as outpatient services and an urgent care together under one roof. The outpatient services covered a variety of areas such as laboratory, physical therapy, pharmacy and medical imaging. The facility also housed a number of specialists including orthopedics, podiatry, gynecology, urology and cardiology. Soon after the first phase was complete, talk of beginning the second phase began.

Completed in 1995, the second phase of the project brought an outpatient surgery center, replaced the Urgent Care with a 24-hour Emergency Room, and added rehabilitation therapy to the CVMC. These services provided the residents of Carson Valley an opportunity to stay close to home for high quality medical care, offering a great assortment of diagnostic tests, lab services and ambulatory surgery, a great improvement but still no inpatient hospitalization.

In 2004, the Critical Access Hospital opened with 15 Acute Care beds. In 2007, the hospital expanded to include an ICU. Today, CVMC has a reputation as the quality, compassionate local healthcare provider, bringing the community a hospital, surgery center, 24-hour emergency room, Urgent Care, and physician offices/clinics throughout the Carson Valley.
