City of Yuma Proclaims June 15–22, 2026 as "Steve Jones Week" 🏌️‍♂️

At the June 2, 2026 City Council Meeting, the Yuma City Council approved a proclamation honoring Yuma native Steve Jones and designating June 15–22, 2026, as "Steve Jones Week" in the City of Yuma.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Steve Jones' remarkable victory at the 1996 U.S. Open Championship, one of the greatest achievements in professional golf and a proud moment for our community.

Raised in Yuma, Steve excelled as a student-athlete before attending the University of Colorado and launching a successful professional golf career. Throughout his career, he earned eight PGA Tour victories, overcame significant challenges through determination and perseverance, and brought national recognition to his hometown.

The proclamation recognizes Steve's outstanding accomplishments, sportsmanship, and the pride he has brought to the City of Yuma. His success continues to inspire athletes and residents of all ages, demonstrating what can be achieved through hard work, dedication, and resilience.

Please join the City of Yuma in congratulating Steve Jones on the 30th anniversary of his U.S. Open Championship and thanking him for being an exceptional ambassador for our community.

Congratulations, Steve, and thank you for making Yuma proud! ⛳🏆

In observance of Memorial Day, our Yuma Clinic and Akron Clinic will be closed Monday, May 25th.

Our Hospital and Emergency Department remain open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — because we know emergencies don't take holidays.

Clinics will resume normal hours on Tuesday, May 26th. If you need care over the long weekend, we're here.

To all who have served, and to the families who carry their memory — thank you. We are honored to serve this community in your name.

🌺🌴Mahalo for the Care You Share 🌴🌺

This week, we celebrated Nurses Week with a special Luau Dinner hosted by YDHC Nursing Leaders in honor of our incredible nurses and valued team members.

The evening was filled with delicious food, tropical mocktails, colorful leis, music, fun giveaways, and most importantly—time together to recognize the compassion, dedication, and teamwork that make such a difference every day.

A special mahalo to Alison and Teri for making a special delivery to include the PCU team members staffing the unit, ensuring they could share in the celebration as well.

Thank you to all our caregivers for the exceptional care you share with our patients, families, and each other every single day. We appreciate you more than words can express!

This morning we were honored to host the Yuma Chamber of Commerce’s Good Morning Yuma gathering. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with community leaders, neighbors, and partners who care deeply about our town's future.

We were especially proud to introduce three of our local healthcare providers — dedicated professionals who don’t just serve our community, they are part of it. Their commitment reflects the heart of Yuma: neighbors caring for neighbors.

Thank you to everyone who attended and to all who work tirelessly each day to make Yuma a better place to live, learn, and leave a legacy for the next generation. Together, we are building something truly special.
