Together, WHCA has approximately 700 staff and 200 credentialed professional staff, and an annual budget of $59 million. Both GMCH and NWHC have a dedicated group of volunteers and benefit from the exceptional support of their three Foundations.
GMCH opened a new 45-bed greenfield hospital in 2020.
