Gila Regional Medical Center Board of Trustees Chair Dr. Fred Fox, emphasized at the Jan 24, 2024 board meeting that the hospital in the very near future would do a community health needs assessment. 

"We want input from every member of our community, no matter if they have health insurance or not," Fox said. "The requirements of the survey under the IRS rules require extensive coverage of all sectors of the community. More information will be forthcoming, but the assessment, report and action plan must be completed by the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 2024."
