The hospital is located about three miles north of Whiteriver and serves approximately 17,000 tribal members and other Native American communities around the area. Residents to the northwest are served through the Cibecue Health Center, fifty miles from Whiteriver. Whiteriver is within 20 to 30 miles from the resort towns of Pinetop, Lakeside and Show Low. Here, you will find a full range of shopping options, as well as entertainment and recreational activities. Ranging from mid-desert in the lower elevations to more than 11,001 feet in the mountains, this region offers a four-season climate. Whiteriver and Cibecue are above 5,000 feet, and maintain pleasant 75 to 95 degree temperatures in the summer and 40 to 55 degrees in the winter. This climate puts the best of Arizona right at your doorstep. Heavy winter snowfalls make mountain skiing a delight. Summer rains cause the forests to come alive with verdant beauty.
