YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – After three years of providing care to the people of Yuma, Exceptional Community Hospital is marking its anniversary by strengthening its bond with the community it serves.
Hospital leaders, staff, local officials, and community members gathered at the Pivot Point Conference Center for a ceremony celebrating the hospital’s third anniversary and its continued dedication to the region.
“We are here for the long-term and here to make a difference in the care that people get,” said Bruce McVeigh, Chief Operating Officer of Exceptional Healthcare.
During the event, the hospital’s leadership team signed a Community Pledge, publicly reaffirming their commitment to quality care and community involvement.
“Everything’s about the patient and family for us,” McVeigh added. “You’ll hear that as we reaffirm our commitment to not only the town but to all the patients we take care of. It’s vitally important to celebrate that and reaffirm our commitments.”
Since opening its doors in 2022, Exceptional Community Hospital has made community outreach a priority, an effort that hasn’t gone unnoticed by local leaders.
“We all carry the weight as a community, and I see Exceptional Health doing that here in Yuma,” said Mayor Doug Nicholls.
The hospital has also earned national recognition from the Center for Improvement in Healthcare Quality for its high standards of care.
Looking ahead, Exceptional Community Hospital is continuing to expand its presence in Yuma.
“We’re soon to be opening up our first acute care surgical center on our property,” McVeigh said. “We’re here for the longterm to keep growing that campus. We have a lot of space…if you look behind the hospital, there’s 10 acres there.”
As it looks toward the future, Exceptional Community Hospital remains focused on its mission of providing compassionate, high-quality healthcare and strengthening its partnership with the Yuma community.
