Klickitat Valley Health

Klickitat Valley Health (KVH) is a community-owned Critical Access Hospital and family medicine clinic in Goldendale, WA. Families across Klickitat County have trusted KVH for generations. Serving Klickitat County with the essential care rural communities depend on, we are proud to carry that legacy forward.

As a Critical Access Hospital, KVH is part of a national model designed to protect access to healthcare in rural areas. In a county where the nearest large hospital or trauma center can be hours away, KVH fills a critical gap by providing emergency services, primary care, modern diagnostic imaging, behavioral health, surgery, and award-winning hospice care. We keep quality care close to home while supporting long-term stability for the community.

Grounded in the values of transformative encouragement, radical collaboration, and courageous accountability, KVH providers and staff bring these principles to life in every decision, every interaction, and in how we coordinate care. We are proud to serve the same neighbors we see at local schools, events, and throughout the community, and we take seriously our role in empowering healthy living.

Our mission guides everything we do: provide quality, compassionate healthcare and respectful, personalized service. We listen carefully, explain care clearly, and treat every person with dignity, kindness, and understanding. Our values shape our culture and teamwork every day, supporting a workplace where staff feel empowered to speak up for safety, collaborate across departments, and continuously improve the care experience for patients.

KVH’s commitment reaches beyond hospital and clinic walls. Since 1946, we have invested in prevention, education, and community engagement, with staff participating in local events, health education efforts, and programs designed to make preventive care more accessible. We also work alongside community partners to better understand local health needs and improve well-being across all stages of life.

At KVH, we are proud to be the place our community turns to, working together to keep quality care close to home.
