IVCH is the only hospital on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe. The next nearest hospital is over 25 miles away and requires traveling on roads that can be dangerous or even closed during winter months. When seconds count, distance matters.
The IVCH Emergency Room is a full-service emergency department that is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Each year, over 4,000 patients receive critical care at the IVCH ER. Gifts designated to the Emergency Department directly support equipment and supply needs that are essential for the department’s lifesaving efforts.
