In 1949, the Joseph family created a legacy that would benefit our community for generations to follow. The community quickly rallied around the Joseph’s donation of land for a new hospital, and by a vote of the general public, Tahoe Forest Hospital District was formed. Tahoe Forest Health System, a DBA of Tahoe Forest Hospital District, continues to thrive under this heritage of philanthropy.
Through continued generous community support, Tahoe Forest Health System is able to offer a wide variety of high-quality programs and services, including 24-hour emergency care, urgent care, cancer care, primary and specialty care, a family center for women and newborn care, an ambulatory surgery center, intensive care, medical/surgical unit, long term care center, home health and hospice, children’s center, rehabilitation and sports therapy, and a variety of community health and wellness programs.
Tahoe Forest Hospital is a not-for-profit rural health care facility with 25 acute care beds and 36 long-term care beds. Designated a critical access hospital, it is fully accredited by the Healthcare Accreditation Facilities Program and licensed by the State of California Department of Health Services.
Our service area covers six rural counties, two states, and approximately 3,500 square miles, reaching the communities of Truckee, North Lake Tahoe, Donner Summit, the Sierra Valley in California, and Incline Village in Nevada.
