Background Statement

West Mountain Regional Health Alliance (WMRHA) formed as a regional entity in 2010 to examine the access to care gap of prenatal care for low-income women in western Eagle County. This lead to a collaborative Prenatal Program between Pitkin County and Eagle County. The success of the entity highlighted the need for the group to continue its efforts to identify issues and seek regional solutions. In order to do so, the alliance expanded to a broader community alliance that it is today. WMRHA is the regional lead for Valley Alliance to End Homelessness, CO DOLA Emergency Solutions Grants, and Mountain Coalition for Food and Nutrition Security. WMRHA produces the Roaring Fork Community Resource Guide to help people who live and work in the region to access services and resources. WMRHA helps individuals in Eagle, Garfield and Pitkin counties by improving access to affordable health (mental, dental, behavioral, and social). Going to the doctor is not always enough to improve health for those facing issues such as lack of affordable housing and access to healthy food.
