This made it the first hospital in the state owned by a county.[1] The hospital provides services to Hamilton County and Tipton County. In 2014, Riverview Hospital changed its name to Riverview Health.[3] That same year, the hospital agreed to pay $1.2 million for ten years for the naming rights to Westfield High School's football stadium.[4]
