Before Interstate 80 was built, before the Winter Olympics came, and more than four decades before the town of Truckee incorporated, there was Tahoe Forest.

In 1945, the Rotary Club of Truckee saw a need for a first aid station or hospital in Truckee. A committee representing the town’s service groups reached out to local landowner Dick Joseph. The Joseph family had experienced a tragedy. His wife passed away on their way to giving birth in Reno, and he felt that if there was a hospital in Truckee, that never would have happened. Joseph agreed to donate a large parcel of property to the newly formed Tahoe Forest Hospital District. Then, on April 14th, 1952, Tahoe Forest Hospital opened to patients. It had two doctors and fifteen beds.

It started because we needed hospital care for people. As we continued to grow, we added more specialties, and our access to care for just about anything you might need is right here in our hometown. From 1965 to 1980, the hospital went through a period of expansion, adding two wings, an annex, and doubling its overall size. Critical services like X-ray, lab, surgery, physical therapy, ICU, trauma, and birthing were added. The ’90s brought mammography and the acquisition of Incline Village Community Hospital.

A lot of the expanded facilities just allowed us more and more to provide for our own. Through all of the rebuilds and updating of the ER and the ICU, being able to take care of more complicated cases was huge.

In 2007, the local community overwhelmingly approved a bond measure, which allowed significant renovations across multiple departments and new construction of the Gene Upshaw Memorial Tahoe Forest Cancer Center. We realized that for people to trust us, we needed to make sure what we did, we did very well. Otherwise, we’re not going to do it. But it doesn’t mean we can’t have the best technology. And to this day, I’m going to tell you, this hospital is competitive and in line with large universities and medical centers regarding technology.

Quality of care doesn’t just come from expanded facilities and new technology. It’s the people of Tahoe Forest who have really made the difference these past seventy-five years. Over the last several years, there’s been a high value placed on recruiting high-quality primary care and updating our offices and making space for us to grow and thrive. Every person and every department contributes to the overall goal of providing excellent care to patients and their families.

From humble beginnings, the goal has remained the same: provide quality health care right where it’s needed, in our community. New buildings will be built, and new technology will be added, but the heart of Tahoe Forest will always be the people.

This is a journey that we are all on, and we’re all in it together, making a difference not only for our health system but for the community in which we serve. That’s a really exciting adventure to be on for all of us.
