Services Moving to 5th Floor of Vail Health Hospital East Wing Tower
Colorado Mountain Medical relocates services, including Urgent Care, to Vail Health Hospital; Cardiovascular Center, Cardiac Rehabilitation and Surgical Associates also moving into tower
The 5th floor of the Vail Health Hospital East Wing Tower is opening to patients seeking medical services from Colorado Mountain Medical, Urgent Care, Vail Health Cardiovascular Center, Vail Health Cardiac Rehabilitation and Surgical Associates.
“We are excited to transition all patient-facing, clinical services previously offered out of Vail Health’s Medical Professional Building into the new East Wing Tower of the hospital, as it allows us to have all services under one roof and allows better access to other services within the hospital,” said Will Cook, president and CEO of Vail Health. “The hospital was built with the intention of being able to expand to fit the needs of our community and utilizing the 5th floor space in the tower is a prime example of how we are strategic in our facility planning.”
Colorado Mountain Medical (CMM) and Urgent Care will be relocating from the Medical Professional Building, formerly the US Bank building, into the 5th floor of the Vail Health Hospital East Wing Tower. Urgent Care will be closed June 18-19 and will reopen in the new space, along with all Colorado Mountain Medical services, on June 20. On June 18-19, Urgent Care patients should seek care at either the Colorado Mountain Medical Urgent Care in Avon at 50 Buck Creek Rd or the Vail Health Hospital Emergency Department.
The Colorado Mountain Medical waiting room on the 5th floor will offer a spectacular southern view of Vail Mountain. The move into the hospital will also bring patient services closer together, allowing for easier navigation between different services and reducing the need to access two separate buildings for care.
Surgical Associates, Vail Health Cardiovascular Center and Vail Health Cardiac Rehabilitation will also relocate to the 5th floor of the Vail Health Hospital East Wing Tower, combining the three into one central area. The Cardiovascular Center was previously in the Medical Professional Building, and Surgical Associates and Cardiac Rehabilitation were both in the West Wing of the hospital. This consolidation positions patient services closer to the Emergency Department and Imaging and allows cardiac physicians to have direct access to patients utilizing the Cardiac Rehabilitation gym. Cardiac Rehabilitation will open on June 20, and the Cardiovascular Center and Surgical Associates are expected to open to the public in their new location at the end of July 2022.
To access the relocated services, patients should park in the Vail Health Hospital parking garage and take elevator E for direct access up to the 5th floor. Complimentary valet parking is available at the main entrance of Vail Health Hospital, located off S. Frontage Road from 8 a.m.to 4:30 p.m. on Monday through Friday. Volunteers will be stationed along the patient pathway inside the hospital, in addition to a smartphone digital way finding solution which provides indoor navigation technology for Vail Health Hospital patients and visitors (vailhealth.org/wayfinding).

Hot, Cold and Mental Health: Inside Vail Health’s CHILL’D Research Study
Depression, a mental illness affecting more than 18% of American adults, has no blood marker or single biological cause. It looks and feels different in everyone because the brain is a complex organ, and there is no single way that depression develops. Like many mental health conditions, depression can be treated through medical, pharmaceutical and alternative approaches. One promising avenue under study at Vail Health’s Behavioral Health Innovation Center is contrast therapy — combining sauna and cold plunge treatments.

What to Expect Before, During and After a Colonoscopy
If you've been putting off a colonoscopy, you're not alone. It's one of the most recommended — and most avoided — preventive screenings in medicine. But here's what most people don't realize until after their first one: the procedure itself is a non-event. You're asleep. You don't feel a thing. What people actually dread, and what they talk about afterward, is the prep. The good news is that even the prep is manageable, and the payoff is enormous. Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when caught early. A colonoscopy doesn't just detect it; in many cases, it stops cancer before it starts.

Navigating Men’s Sexual Health: Erectile Dysfunction and the Bigger Picture
For something so common — and treatable — erectile dysfunction (ED) is still surprisingly difficult to talk about. “The biggest misconception men have is that there’s a mechanical or physical problem with them, and that’s usually not the case,” explains Dr. Joseph Dall’Era, a urologist at Vail Health. In reality, ED is far more nuanced and manageable than people realize. Understanding what’s happening and knowing when to speak up can shift the experience.
