Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center is a Critical Access Hospital in central Colorado that is publicly owned and locally managed. Our mission is to enhance the health of our community through the delivery of personalized and exceptional care. We put patients at the center of everything we do by listening to their concerns, understanding their needs, honoring their choices and keeping them informed. We recruit and retain dedicated physicians and staff who value teamwork, open communication and mutual respect. We focus on accountability, continual improvement, and establishing highly engaged relationships with our patients. HRRMC is committed to providing safe and high quality healthcare by incorporating patient safety and quality into everything we do. We strive to be the healthcare provider of choice for our region and a world-class rural healthcare organization. Our hospital offers extensive services that include a family birthing center, oncology and chemotherapy, dialysis, home health, hospice, inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, and general surgery. Our specialty surgery services include orthopedics, ENT, gynecology, urology, ophthalmology, foot and ankle, gastrointestinal endoscopy, and vascular surgery. HRRMC provides advanced technologies--such as 3-D digital mammography and PET/CT scanning--that oftentimes are not found in rural hospitals. We also operate a rural health clinic in Buena Vista that brings primary care, women's health, visiting specialists, and laboratory and medical imaging services to northern Chaffee County.
