Community Involvement

The Vail Valley Medical Center family is uniquely involved with the local and regional communities through a variety of programs and outreach initiatives designed
to build a healthier society. Additionally, many of our hospital professionals are tasked to reach out and create partnerships with area constituents in hopes of
educating and informing, as well as screening and treating. It is this spirit of dedication and focus that allows us to be a regional leader in health care, spending
more than $1 million annually on prevention, education and early detection. Throughout the year, Vail Valley Medical Center is a resource, a neighbor and a
friend. It is our hope you will take full advantage of the many events and services that exist… right in your own backyard.
