Montrose Regional Health, a nonprofit 75-bed community healthcare system in western Colorado, provides care across seven counties and has become a regional referral center through specialty service expansion and innovative technology. The system includes a level 3 trauma center, a newly constructed 90,000-square-foot ambulatory care center, and cutting-edge capabilities such as robotic-assisted surgery and UVC disinfection. The system employs more than 950 staff and 188 providers across 32 specialties, making it the second-largest employer in Montrose County. Surgical volume has dramatically increased, rising by 32% in 2022, 54% in 2023 and 49% in 2024, driven by service line growth in gastroenterology, spine care and pulmonology. Recognized for excellence in patient care, the system has earned accolades such as the 2025 Healthgrades “Patient Safety” and “Outstanding Patient Experience” awards and has been named a Chartis “Top 100 Rural and Community Hospital” nine times.
