Boulder City Hospital: More Than Meets The Eye
Boulder City Hospital strives to
provide our patients with the
best treatment options and the
highest quality of care available.
Quality care is our top priority
– that’s why we participate in
quality core measurements, a
national performance measure-
ment system. Core measures
help hospitals compare and
continuously improve the care
provided at healthcare facilities.
Boulder City Hospital
scored 100% in all core qual-
ity measures during the
second quarter! Our ongoing
commitment to provide high
quality care to each one of our
patients is reflected in our core
measurement score. No won-
der 99% of patients who receive
care at Boulder City Hospital
would recommend Boulder City
Hospital to friends and family!
Boulder City Hospital provides
each of our patients with indi-
vidualized care, focused on
YOUR specific needs. We strive
to be the community’s choice for
all of your healthcare related
needs. Our highly trained staff
ensures that every patient re-
ceives the attention they deserve
and the appropriate care needed
for a speedy recovery.
Quality Matters at Boulder City Hospital
Improved access to
healthcare services is a
priority for all community
hospitals. To help ad-
dress this issue, Boulder
City Hospital has created
partnerships with medical
specialists to practice in
Boulder City on a part-
time basis. This coopera-
tive agreement helps to
improve access as well as
decrease the need for
many residents to leave
town for healthcare. We
thank the following physi-
cians for playing a crucial
role in providing much
needed specialty services

DEXA Scan Used To
Diagnose Osteoporosis
A DEXA scan is most commonly
recommended to diagnose and moni-
tor cases of osteoporosis or os-
teopenia. DEXA provides EARLY
detection of bone loss, making it possi-
ble to receive treatment BEFORE
damage becomes irreparable.
If you suffer from or are at risk of
osteoporosis, we encourage you to
talk to your doctor about the benefits
of a DEXA scan. Boulder City Hospi-
tal’s DEXA scanning equipment is state
of the art and offers painless, noninva-
sive scanning that takes approximately
10 minutes. Just bring an order from
your physician and schedule your same
or next day appointment.
When a loved one requires 24-hour
nursing care, the Long Term Care
Program at Boulder City Hospital is
here to help. Our long term care
program allows direct and im-
mediate access to emergency,
critical care and comprehensive
hospital services, in the event an
acute illness should arise.
We take pride in the wide
variety of activities we offer to our
residents. Our residents’ lifestyles
