Mission

To improve the physical and mental health of Park County residents.

Background Statement

Rocky Mountain Rural Health was founded in 1989 and for over 30 years has acted as an advocate for access to healthcare for rural Park county residents.

In 2017, members of RMRH were part of a grassroots effort to bring sustainable healthcare back to the South Park region of the county. Voters approved the creation of South Park Health Service District and supported by sales tax income, the Health Service District was able to negotiate an agreement with a healthcare network. Due to this creative approach to health care sustainability, the clinic in Fairplay was able to reopen in 2018 after nearly five years.

Rocky Mountain Rural Health continues to pioneer programs that seek to connect residents in our far-flung county with the health care services they need. The key to these programs are our Community Health Workers who offer assistance in a whole array of health-related needs. As trusted members of the community, our CHWs gain valuable insight into needs and potential solutions. This means our scope of services is continually being expanded. Each new program leads us one step closer to closing the healthcare disparity gap so common in rural Colorado.
