History Of Heart Of The Rockies Med Ctr
Serving You Since 1885
Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center is a 25-bed Critical Access hospital located in Salida, Colorado. The hospital serves the 16,000 residents of the Upper Arkansas Valley including the communities of Buena Vista, Villa Grove, Saguache, Granite, Howard and surrounding communities.
HRRMC was first established in 1885 as the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad hospital for railroad employees. In 1962, the railroad decided to sell the hospital. Despite offers of purchase from two outside private companies, a group of local community leaders gave money to buy the hospital. The hospital ran as a private corporation until 1976, when the Salida Hospital District was formed, and the community members who had provided money in 1962 were reimbursed. In 1989 the hospital's name changed to Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center, which better reflected the services offered and the area served.
Hospital Changes
The old hospital underwent many renovations, including two additions. After a fire in 1899, the hospital was rebuilt. This section of the historic building still stands today. During 1924-25, a large, two-story patient wing was added to the hospital. Another addition and further renovations were made in the early 1980's, which allowed for a new Intensive Care Unit, laboratory, emergency room, and two additional patient rooms.
In 1994, renovations included the addition of ten semi-private patient rooms, a new operating room, Cardio-Pulmonary Department, and an expanded Emergency Department.
The hospital moved into a new state-of-the-art facility 1.1 miles west of the old facility on Hwy. 291 on April 1, 2008. This 85,000 square-foot, 25-bed hospital will serve the medical needs of the Upper Arkansas Valley for decades to come.
In addition to facility changes, HRRMC has kept up with medical technology by investing in several pieces of state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment including a multi-slice CT scanner, a Mammography unit, a new 1.5 Tessla MRI, a Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) machine, a hematology analyzer, gastroscope, and fetal monitoring equipment that includes the capability to monitor the mother.

Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center is proud to offer exceptional care to the community and its visitors. We provide a full range of services. Our 31 full-time physicians provide everything from complete family care (obstetrics to geriatrics) to surgery (including Dermatology, Gastroenterology, General, Cataract & Laser Surgery, Orthopedic, Foot & Ankle, Gynecological, and Urological).
