Onvida Heath, formerly known as Yuma Regional Medical Center, is a hospital in Yuma, Arizona, United States. It began operations in 1958 under the name Parkview Hospital.[3]
Yuma Regional Medical Center was founded as Parkview Hospital in 1958.[3] In 1961, the Baptist Hospital Association of Arizona assumed management of the hospital and renamed it Parkview Baptist Hospital.[4][5] In 1972, management of the hospital was transferred to the Yuma community, which renamed it Yuma Regional Medical Center.[6] In 2004, a new six-story hospital tower was completed, adding a 42-bed ICU, a heart center, and over 140 new regular beds.[7][8] In 2013, YRMC became a teaching facility with the addition of a graduate medical education (GME) program in Family and Community Medicine.[9]
In July 2014, the Yuma Regional Cancer Center was opened.[10] The Center provides comprehensive cancer care. In 2018, the center was certified by the Commission on Cancer, a part of the American College of Surgeons.[11] In November 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, the hospital did not allow an emergency physician, Cleavon Gilman, to continue work due to his providing information on social media about the COVID-19 pandemic in Arizona.[12] Subsequently, in December 2020 the hospital faced a critical staffing shortage.[13] In October 9, 2024, the Yuma Regional Medical Center was rebranded into Onvida Health.[14]
