About

A fall on the trail, a kid with a fever after dark: in Estes Park, that means UCHealth Estes Valley Medical Center on Prospect Avenue. The 23-bed critical access hospital runs the valley's 24-hour emergency department and ambulance service, and as a Level IV Trauma Center it stabilizes serious cases and sends them on to the right level of care.

The nurses and the ER are what people talk about, often alongside compassionate care and quick X-rays. Wait times come up too, as they do at any small hospital serving a town and its visitors. Insurance and billing questions come up enough that it is worth checking coverage on anything that is not an emergency.

Beyond the ER, the clinic side covers primary care and specialists in general and orthopedic surgery, ENT, podiatry and gynecology, and imaging includes mammography, CT, ultrasound and MRI. That saves a lot of residents the drive down the canyon.
