Small town living doesn't have to mean country doctors and limited facilities. But because we are a small town, our health care providers are on a first name basis with most of their patients.
Valley View Hospital
 Valley View Hospital, the recent recipient of the JD Power Award for patient services and named one of the top 100 hospitals in the nation, effectively combines high tech with high touch.
The hospital recently underwent a 160,000 square foot addition which houses a new family birthplace, radiology unit and complete cardio care unit. Valley View looks more like a ski lodge than a medical center, with a roaring stone fireplace, wi-fi access and a Starbuck's coffee shop in a lobby furnished with comfortable leather sofas and a mountain casual motif. It combines the healing aspects of both a spa and a hospital with amenities like family rooms with kitchens, massage therapy and 24-hour "room service," this 80-bed facility has top-trained physicians and the latest technology, making it a renowned regional medical center caring for patients from Vail to Aspen to western Garfield County.
Roaring Fork Community Health Plan
The nationally recognized Roaring Fork Valley Community Health Plan is a not-for-profit corporation organized to create and promote community-oriented health care plans that are focused on competitive pricing, accessibility, and quality outcomes for members of rural communities in Western Colorado. Health care coverage is provided by PacifiCare Life Insurance Company and distributed via the Web and local insurance brokers. The program is managed by Van Gilder Insurance Corporation.
