In addition to the title of Chief Nursing Officer, Beth Kluding has been named HVCH’s Chief Operating Officer.

“Beth’s role encompasses many duties in addition to those typically included as a Chief Nursing Officer, and we want to recognize the work she does to promote high-quality care for the patients at HVCH,” HVCH President & CEO Stacey Gabriel said.

Beth also is involved with strategic planning and operations of the hospital.

Thank you Beth for your continued dedication in making HVCH a great organization!

HVCH transitioning urgent care into single emergency department starting July 1, 2026

By centralizing services within the Emergency Department, patients will benefit from a streamlined experience with one convenient access point. The ED will continue to care for minor illnesses and injuries while offering the added advantage of immediate access to emergency-level evaluation and treatment if needed. With 24/7 availability, the community can rely on continuous access to care around the clock.

While patients will be registered as Emergency Department visits, costs will vary based on individual insurance coverage; hospital financial support applications remain available to everyone.
