Verde Valley Medical Center
From a small outpatient clinic in 1939, Verde Valley
Medical Center has grown into a technologically advanced, 110-bed,
nonprofit hospital serving North Central Arizona. More than 800
professional and support staff are employed at VVMC. The Medical Staff is
comprised of more than 90 physicians representing 21 medical specialties. VVMC
is licensed by the state of Arizona and certified by Medicare.
In 2007, VVMC received four national customer service awards for positive patient responses compared to
more than 200 healthcare facilities nationwide.
We are a member of Northern Arizona Healthcare.
VVMC is a nonprofit healthcare organization governed by a
voluntary board of directors comprised of local
citizens. All revenue in excess of expenses is returned to the community in
the form of improved facilities, new equipment and health education
programs. Our vision of VVMC is to be a center of medical expertise and a
resource for community education. This vision is shared by the team of the
board of directors, administration and employees.
Situated on a 24-acre campus, VVMC is the only facility in the Verde Valley
that offers on-site angioplasty and stent placement. Interventional
cardiologists, supported by a professional team of nurses and technicians,
are available 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week for diagnoses and treatment
of emergency and nonemergency cardiac care. VMC also offers cardiology
diagnostic studies and procedures, and a cardiac rehabilitation program that
provides patients the opportunity to participate in monitored health and
fitness sessions.
In spring 2005 VVMC became the only hospital in Northern Arizona and the
fourth hospital in the state to offer its patients the most powerful CT
(computed tomography) scanning equipment available outside of research and
teaching facilities when it installed its new Siemens 64-slice CT scanner.
Accredited by the American College of Radiology, VVMC’s ultrasound and
mammography programs include technology for minimally invasive biopsy
procedures. VVMC has the only high-field strength MRI in the Verde Valley,
providing high definition imaging of all anatomy. The MRI patient monitor increases patient safety during adult and pediatric
procedures.
Another diagnostic tool recently added to VVMC’s list of resources, Positron
Emission Tomography (PET)/CT is the leading diagnostic tool for many types
of cancer, coronary heart disease and neurological problems. The Computer
Aided Detection (CAD) system is an additional tool for radiologists, and is
used for ensuring accuracy in mammogram interpretation. Vasoguard is a
noninvasive arterial testing that measures blood flow to the extremities,
and is the first step in evaluating patients with peripheral vascular
disease. Medical Imaging services also include bone density testing and
nuclear medicine.
VVMC’s state-of-the-art MedTrak Balance testing and falls prevention
technology allows VVMC to evaluate patients with complaints of dizziness,
vertigo or lightheadedness. “Vestibular” testing will precisely pinpoint if
the complaint has its origin in illness, injury, the aging process or other
causes.
VVMC also tests for sleep apnea and other sleep disturbances. Sleep studies
offer invaluable diagnostic information for primary care physicians. Besides
daytime sleepiness and fatigue, sleep disorders can contribute to
depression, impotence and cardiac arrhythmias.
VVMC provides a full-service certified clinical laboratory; 24-hour
Emergency department with on-site medically dedicated helicopter; physical,
speech, hand and occupational therapy; quality obstetrics, newborn services and
parent education; and a variety of other inpatient and outpatient tests and
services, including surgery. VVMC invites the public to visit its extensive
medical library. For more information about any VVMC service, call the
