Labs, imaging and pharmacies near Yuma.
Blood work in Yuma is available at Sonora Quest Laboratories’ patient service center and at Labcorp’s two locations on South Fortuna Road and South Avenue B; confirm your order, appointment requirements and coverage before visiting. Imaging is through Onvida Health’s imaging and radiology department, which handles X-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI; there is no SimonMed or Banner Imaging center in Yuma. Prescriptions can go to Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, Fry’s, Albertsons or Sam’s Club, or to Sunset Health’s pharmacy if you are a patient there. Safeway does not have a Yuma pharmacy. Winter residents should name both a Yuma pharmacy and a home pharmacy so refills follow them.

Patient Questions
All Patient Questions Yuma questions.
Does Wade’s Care First have an office in Yuma?
No. Wade’s Care First is a telehealth practice. You join your visit by secure video from home, work or anywhere in Arizona, and Charles Wade, FNP-BC is licensed to treat you while you are in the state. Anything that needs hands-on care is coordinated with facilities in and around Yuma, such as Onvida Health (formerly Yuma Regional Medical Center; ADHS lists it as Onvida Yuma Regional Medical Center, Level III trauma center; 400+ beds, two emergency departments at 2400 S. Avenue A and the Foothills campus).
Where will I go for blood work if I live in Yuma?
Sonora Quest Laboratories lists a Yuma patient service center (ZIP 85364, Ridgeview location) in its February 2026 directory. Labcorp lists two Yuma locations (S. Fortuna Rd and S. Avenue B). Hospital outpatient lab at Onvida Health. We send the order electronically to a location that is convenient for you or in your insurance network. Results come back to us for review with you.
Which Yuma hospitals have an emergency department?
Onvida Health (formerly Yuma Regional Medical Center; ADHS lists it as Onvida Yuma Regional Medical Center, Level III trauma center; 400+ beds, two emergency departments at 2400 S. Avenue A and the Foothills campus). For chest pain, trouble breathing, stroke symptoms, severe bleeding, a major injury or thoughts of harming yourself, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than booking a video visit.
Are there community health centers in Yuma for in-person care?
Sunset Health (Sunset Community Health Center; FQHC with Yuma Central Complex, North Yuma, Somerton, San Luis and Wellton clinics), Regional Center for Border Health (FQHC look-alike and licensed behavioral health network; Somerton, San Luis and Yuma sites) and Horizon Health & Wellness – Yuma (HRSA-funded site, 1185 S. Redondo Center Dr) serve the area with in-person primary care on a sliding scale. Many patients pair that kind of local clinic with telehealth for follow-ups, medication management and specialist coordination.
Can I use Arizona Medicaid or other insurance for a telehealth visit from Yuma?
Arizona Medicaid plans are not on the participating list right now. Plans accepted in Arizona: BCBS / Anthem PPO, UnitedHealthcare PPO, UMR (PPO), Aetna PPO, Cigna PPO, Humana PPO, Ambetter PPO, TRICARE. Benefits are verified before your visit, and self-pay pricing is posted if your plan is not accepted.
Is Yuma a health professional shortage area?
Yuma County has HRSA primary care and mental health HPSAs including 1 FQHC/look-alike, 1 rural health clinic and 1 correctional facility HPSA; PCP FTE shortage 12.6, psychiatrist FTE shortage 10.6. Arizona Center for Rural Health (Dec. 2024): Arizona has primary care physician shortages in all 15 counties, meets 35.4% of its primary care need and needs 493 more PCP FTEs; its mental health brief (2023) finds psychiatrist shortages in every county and just 8.54% of mental health need met. Telehealth can complement local clinicians by offering another way to access primary care, mental health and medication follow-up while you keep your local relationships.
Can orders be sent to a laboratory or imaging facility near me?
When clinically appropriate, we can send orders to a laboratory or imaging facility you choose. Confirm that the location performs the requested test, accepts the order and participates in your insurance network. Availability and travel distance vary by community.

Getting care in Yuma
A border and agricultural city on the Colorado River with one of the nation’s largest winter-vegetable economies, a large Hispanic majority and intense summer heat.
Yuma County has one hospital system, Onvida Health (the renamed Yuma Regional Medical Center), and a federal count that says the county is still short about 13 primary care physicians and 11 psychiatrists. Clinics run full, and if you work the fields or packing sheds your hours rarely match theirs. Wade’s Care First sees you by video in English for primary care, mental health, ADHD, weight management, skin problems and minor illnesses, and sends labs, imaging and prescriptions to Yuma.
If you qualify for sliding-fee care, Sunset Health and the Regional Center for Border Health have clinics in Yuma, Somerton and San Luis; telehealth can work alongside them. In-person exams, vaccines and procedures are referred locally.
Access in Yuma County
Yuma County needs 12.6 more primary care physician FTEs and 10.6 psychiatrist FTEs to clear its HRSA shortage designations, a large gap for a county of 220,000. ADHS reports the heat-related ED visit rate among Arizona residents is highest in La Paz, Mohave and Yuma counties (Yuma: 67.5 per 100,000 in 2025, 117.9 in 2024, versus 47.5 in Maricopa in 2025), and the 2024 heat death rate was likewise highest in La Paz, Mohave and Yuma; 35 heat deaths occurred in Yuma County in 2024.
Farm work is central: Yuma County sold $1.5 billion in agricultural products in 2022, including $1.13 billion in vegetables (3rd of all U.S. counties) on 109,195 harvested vegetable acres. About 64.9% of county residents are Hispanic. Arizona’s uninsured rate was 10.3% in 2024.
Who this helps most in Yuma
Telehealth is a strong fit for Yuma’s farmworkers and agricultural staff, winter residents who need continuity with a clinician, military families near the proving ground and Marine air station, and anyone who cannot take a weekday off. It handles refills, blood pressure and diabetes follow-up, anxiety and depression, ADHD, rashes and sun-damaged skin, sleep problems and weight planning. Heat is the most important local danger: Yuma County’s rate of heat-related emergency visits is among the highest in Arizona, and 35 people died of heat here in 2024. Cramps, confusion, vomiting or fainting after time in the fields need immediate cooling and an emergency department, not a video call. Chest pain, stroke signs and serious injuries also mean 911.
Local health considerations
- Heat and outdoor work: Yuma County’s heat-related ED visit rate is among the three highest in Arizona (ADHS 2021–2025 report); 3.4% of statewide heat ED visits in 2025 were work-related, more than four times the all-cause share.
- Agriculture: 397 farms, 179,066 irrigated acres and $1.13 billion in vegetable sales in 2022, ranking Yuma County 3rd nationally for vegetables (USDA 2022 Census of Agriculture).
- Majority-Hispanic border population: 64.9% of Yuma County residents are Hispanic (Data USA, ACS); Sunset Health and Regional Center for Border Health describe bilingual services and sliding fees for farmworker and border communities.
