No Doctor Nearby Means More ER Visits Later

Seniors without a primary care provider often end up in the ER for conditions that could have been managed earlier—costing time, money, and health. A local clinic could change that.

A community-led group is working on a proposal to establish the Platte Canyon Health Service District to improve access to care in Northeast Park County. This proposed district aims to bring a sustainable, community-supported health district that ensures residents have local access to primary care, urgent care, mental health care and essential medical services closer to home. The district must first be approved by the Park County Board of County Commissioners before going to a public vote in November. Follow Health Safety and Welfare of Park County for updates.
