Northern Cochise Community Hospital, Inc. was organized in 1968 as a not-for-profit corporation. It is a Critical Access Hospital providing basic medical, surgical, ambulatory and emergency room care and rehabilitation services. There is a District board and a Coporate board. The Corporate board oversees the business of the entity. The NCHS governing board consists of seven members: the Chief of Staff, five members elected by the residents of the hospital district and one appointed member. Northern Cochise Community Hospital has grown over the years and added on a Nursing Home and two freestanding Rural Health Clinics. Considering the visiting specialists, 24/7 emergency services and other additional diagnostic services justified establishing an umbrella name encompasing all services. The name the Leadership Committee chose is Northern Cochise Health System (NCHS). You will see this name used through this website representing the entire entity. NCHS serves the residents of the local area, visitors and travelers on Interstate 10; a population encompassing a wide spectrum of multicultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Willcox has an in-city population of about 4,000 and the market area is estimated at 15,000 people.
