Southern Mono Healthcare District
The Southern Mono Healthcare District (SMHD) is a healthcare provider located in the Eastern Sierra region of California, serving the communities of Mammoth Lakes and surrounding areas, including Mono County. SMHD is dedicated to providing high-quality medical care to residents and visitors of the region, which includes a mix of year-round residents and seasonal tourists.
The district operates the Mammoth Hospital, a critical facility that offers a wide range of medical services, including emergency care, inpatient care, surgery, outpatient services, laboratory testing, diagnostic imaging, and specialized treatments. The hospital is a central part of the healthcare infrastructure in the region, particularly in an area with limited access to larger medical centers.
In addition to hospital services, the Southern Mono Healthcare District supports community health programs, wellness initiatives, and public health education. The district works to improve health outcomes by addressing both emergency medical needs and preventive care for residents. It also collaborates with local healthcare providers and organizations to ensure comprehensive care and services are available.
The Southern Mono Healthcare District is committed to enhancing healthcare delivery in the region, responding to the unique challenges of providing services in a rural, mountainous area, and ensuring that high-quality healthcare is accessible to all who need it. It is governed by an elected board of directors and funded by a combination of patient revenue, local tax revenue, and grants.
