CARSON VALLEY, Nev. – Barton Health has announced it is now the sole governing member for Carson Valley Health, a non-profit that is governed by a board of directors.
For the past 25 years, Barton Health and Renown Health have jointly governed Carson Valley Health under a dual membership structure, and both have long held a shared interest in ensuring that Carson Valley Health remains a robust and valuable choice for healthcare in the Carson Valley. Effective January 21, Barton and Renown agreed that Barton will be the sole member, going forward.
“Barton has been involved with Carson Valley Health since its founding in 1993,” said Dr. Clint Purvance, Barton President and CEO. “We understand its history and the significant role it plays in healthcare delivery. This next step reflects a shared desire to move ahead in a way that continues to ensure high-quality, accessible healthcare is available to all patients in the region.”
“We look forward to more closely aligning with the Barton Health family,” said Jeff Prater, CEO, Carson Valley Health. “This decision builds on years of collaboration and represents a natural next step in advancing Carson Valley Health’s legacy of community care.”
The Carson Valley Health board has three members, Dr. Purvance, Dr. P.J. Fry, and Kelly Neiger.
Barton Health and Carson Valley Health will remain separate entities, and Carson Valley Health will continue providing care as it does today, with no immediate changes expected to staffing or services. In the months ahead, both organizations will work together to explore opportunities and share best practices with the goal of meeting the community’s healthcare needs.
