About
Initiatives
Imagine a day when we spend as much time, effort, and resources on our behavioral health as we do our physical health. In three years, we've increased capacity and access to behavioral health care, addressed crisis response and comprehensive care, and created Hispanic programs. Help us transform behavioral health care.
Testimonials
"Imagine a system where my daughter Olivia could have asked for help and we could have afforded it. " - Vickie Zacher
I didn't understand what generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder meant from 17 to 37," she shares. "Getting out of treatment, I had a better understanding of my brain. I had a better understanding of the fact that it wasn't my fault. It was my chemistry. It's a disease, and I can live with it." - Amanda Precourt
Finn says he began struggling with his mental health the moment he was diagnosed with cancer. "I pretty much became depressed on the spot, and didn't want to fight for my life anymore," he says. "I didn't want to go through this. I didn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. That was very hard to overcome." - Finn Mott
Mission
To lead community collaboration to transform the Eagle Valley's behavioral health system.
Background Statement
Vail Health's Eagle Valley Behavioral Health (EVBH) is spearheading a community collaborative effort to change the behavioral health landscape in the Eagle River Valley. It Takes A Valley: Transforming Behavioral Health, led by Vail Health Foundation, is a $100 million campaign encompassing the energy and fundraising support of multiple nonprofits across the community.
In three years, EVBH has made tremendous strides in changing behavioral health in our mountain community. In September, we broke ground on Vail Health’s Precourt Healing Center at the Edwards Community Health Campus. The 50,000-square foot facility will provide adolescents (age 12+) and adults with 24-hour behavioral health care close to home – a critical need in Eagle County and our surrounding communities.
