Yuma Hospital District #1 board meets Feb. 11 at 5:30 p.m.

The Yuma Hospital District #1 held a regular board meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026, at 5:30 p.m., with the agenda and meeting notice posted on the district website. The district’s online navigation included links labeled "Agenda & Meeting Minutes," "Facebook LIVESTREAM" and "Videos & Media," and the site also displayed a past listing, "Regular Meeting: Wed | January 14, 2026 | 5:30pm."

The district describes its purpose on the website: "Yuma Hospital District #1 exists solely to benefit the greater Yuma community - a region that stretches from eastern California to the western Sonora desert with a hospital to care for people throughout region." The site notes that "Since 1973, the District has owned both the land under the Yuma Regional Medical Center and the buildings that make up the campus," and that "With more than 400 beds, the Medical Center is a vital component to southwest Arizonans in need of health care." The site also states, "State law mandates the District must lease the property to a non-profit entity that operates as a hospital."

Governance of the district is led by a five-member volunteer board. The site says "The District’s five-member board is made up of volunteers elected by residents in the Yuma County," and that the board "oversees the district’s operations and, as memorialized in several agreements with the Medical Center, advises and considers substantial improvements to the land." Two board members named on the site are Frances Davison and Dr. Jeremy Curry. Frances Davison is profiled as a certified nurse practitioner with "more than 20 years" in health care, owner of Southwestern Palliative Care Associates, committed to improving care for the chronically ill, elderly and homebound, a Yuma resident since 1986, married 35 years with four sons and 11 grandchildren.

The district’s website posting of agenda and livestream options follows local practices for public notice. A separate hospital organization, Yuma Hospital & Clinics, lists its own board meetings on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 5:30 p.m., held in the Pearse Conference Room at 1000 West 8th Avenue, Yuma, CO 80759, and says "Community members are welcome to attend all open sessions. A public comment period is included at the beginning of each meeting for addressing the Board with questions or concerns." Yuma Hospital & Clinics lists an administration contact at (970) 848-5405 and says "All meeting notices and agendas are posted at least 24 hours in advance at the hospital entrance and on our website."

Other local public meetings around the same period include Yuma County Commissioners, who hold two regular meetings a month with sessions that typically start at 8:00 a.m., and the Yuma County Anti-Drug Coalition, which scheduled a coalition meeting for Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2026, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Yuma Union District Office, 3150 S Avenue A, Building A.

The district’s control of the hospital campus and its advisory role on land improvements carry direct implications for health capacity in the region. Residents seeking the Feb. 11 agenda or a livestream can find the posted notice and meeting materials on the Yuma Hospital District #1 website under the site navigation items for agendas and media.
