About Family Health West

Our roots go deep -- founded by the community in 1946, it’s no wonder our hospital feels like coming home.

We were built from the ground up with the hands of our own community, a labor of dedication and hope by our people, for our people, for the future. 

At Family Health West we go beyond what corporate hospitals deliver, we’ve created a culture of prosperity where warmth, passion, and care flourishes.

As we focus on continually improving outcomes for patients, our network of healthcare providers includes a 25-bed critical access hospital, one of the largest rehab providers in western Colorado, outpatient surgical services, specialty clinics, emergency services, skilled nursing, and assisted living facilities.

Nestled at the base of the Colorado National Monument, Family Health West has an outdoor paradise at your back door.

The community culture is fitting for outdoor lovers, bikers, hikers, or those just simply soaking in the panoramic views.
