Estes Park Health staff request public meeting with Park Hospital District Board of Directors

On Thursday, August 21 from 8 to 9:30 a.m., Estes Park Health staff, physicians and leadership will meet with the Park Hospital District Board of Directors to share their support for the pending affiliation with UCHealth.

Estes Park Health employees requested the meeting so that the board can hear directly from those working at the hospital and serving the needs of patients about the importance of this affiliation. Those requesting the meeting have also asked to have an opportunity to share their concerns about the anxiety that has recently been created because of commentary by board members and local media regarding a delay in finalizing the partnership.

The meeting will be open to the public via online viewing so other community members can also hear comments from the employees, physicians and leadership team members.

In addition to the feedback provided by EPH staff and providers, David Snow, attorney at EPH’s legal firm Hall Render, will be at the meeting to give a summary of the decision-making process that led to this affiliation agreement.

This timeline of information will span from 2022 when discussions started about creating a ballot initiative to seek approval to identify a non-profit health care partner for Estes Park Health to the current status of the process as of August 2025.
