Healthier Communities Thanks to You


As a non-profit hospital, PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center’s priorities extend well beyond the walls of our facility; we value your health, your family’s well-being and the future of this community.

PeaceHealth Southwest is so much more than a hospital. We are a leader in Clark County, partnering with others to build programs that address critical concerns in our community, including homelessness, food insecurity, mental health and more.

We do this with the help of our philanthropic partners like you. Every gift is a treasure. Every dollar counts. Thank you.
