• Ability to ensure beyond-the-exam-room care for your patients by working with North Country clinical pharmacists, behavioral health consultants, care and case managers, taking advantage of an on-site lab and pharmacy services, and using wrap-around programs addressing HIV, diabetes, well woman screens, maternal/child health, and substance abuse

Bullhead City offers the best of four worlds: 1) the community itself is considered rural, but 2) the big city of Las Vegas is less than 1.5 hrs away, 3) the casinos and restaurants of Laughlin (just on the other side of the Colorado River that separates Arizona and Nevada) offer nightlife, while 4) the river itself and the surrounding mountains offer great outdoor adventures. With mountains on both the east and west sides of town, sunrise and sunsets are always stunning. Western Arizona is an RV-ers paradise with plenty of designated and off-road opportunities for exploring.
