As we move through a beautiful Northwestern Colorado summer, I’d like to extend warm wishes to all our community members. We hope this season has brought joy, sunshine, and time spent with those you love.

At Rangely District Hospital, things are going great. We’re excited to share a few important updates with you.

First, we’re proud to announce the launch of our Sleep Study Program, which officially came online in mid-July. This service will provide critical diagnostics for individuals experiencing sleep-related issues, helping to improve overall health and well-being for our patients. We’re thrilled to bring this valuable service closer to home for the Rangely community.

On July 17th, we hosted one of our favorite annual traditions—our Employee Appreciation Lake Day BBQ. This event is an opportunity for our team to unwind, enjoy each other’s company outside of work, and most importantly, to recognize the incredible individuals who make our hospital what it is.
