Estes Park Health has started the process of joining the UCHealth System, with an expected starting date in the spring of 2025, the two organizations announced in a joint news release. More than 80% of voters in the Park Hospital District, which operates Estes Park Health, authorized the district to join a health system in 2023. A letter of intent was signed by the two health systems Oct. 3, with a final agreement expected in the 'coming months.' UCHealth will invest more than $30 million into the hospital and Estes Park community 'in the coming years,' help recruit new staff members and stabilize Estes Park Health's finances.
