History

Generous community support for Estes Park Health began long before the doors even opened at the Elizabeth Knutsson Memorial Hospital in 1975. The first chief of the medical staff noted at the hospital’s dedication that there were no federal or state funds used to build the hospital – the resources were derived entirely from within the community. That strong community support carries through to today.  Read about our historical milestones.

Financials

Friends of the Foundation, generous people just like you, have donated millions of dollars to ensure that the highest quality healthcare is available for all who come to Estes Park Health. Read about the milestones your donations achieved in our most recent annual report "Evolution of Care.” Previous reports can be accessed in the archives.
