Your Health Shouldn’t Depend on the Highway

Residents of Platte Canyon often travel 60-120 miles round trip for basic healthcare, navigating a winding mountain highway that is frequently closed due to accidents or weather. For seniors and those without reliable transportation, this creates major barriers to care. Our community deserves local, accessible healthcare. Let’s make it happen!

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.
