Boulder City Hospital has eliminated inpatient care.
Patients now have to be transported out of town.

That means:

* 🚑 Longer transport times
* 🚑 Ambulances out of the city longer
* 🚑 More calls with no units available

We already operate with limited staffing covering over 200+ square miles.

So ask yourself:

If your emergency happens while crews are tied up out of town… is help coming?

📞 Call your elected officials and ask why critical services are being reduced while demand keeps increasing.

Because when the system is stretched this thin—
delays aren’t a possibility… they’re a reality.

Big changes at Boulder City Hospital: inpatient stays over 24 hours are ending and 70+ jobs are being cut as the hospital shifts to a rural emergency hospital designation amid federal funding changes.
