About the Organization
In 1949, the Joseph family created a legacy that would benefit our community for generations to follow. The community quickly rallied around the Josephs 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.
Tahoe Forest Hospital offers 24-hour emergency care, an ambulatory surgery center, intensive care, orthopedics and sports medicine, a medical/surgical unit, women and family center, home health and hospice programs, a cancer center, long term care center, childrens center, a health and sports performance center, as well as a variety of community health outreach programs.
Tahoe Forest Hospital is a not-for-profit rural health care facility and designated critical access hospital. It is fully accredited by the Healthcare Accreditation Facilities Program and licensed by the State of California Department of Health Services.
Tahoe Forest Hospital has 25 acute care beds and 36 long-term care beds. 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.
A vital resource of Tahoe Forest Health System is Incline Village Community Hospital located in Incline Village, Nevada, and serving North Lake Tahoe, Kings Beach, Crystal Bay and Incline Village.
