According to the news release, Community Hospital has experienced exponential growth over the past decade, moving to a new state-of-the-art hospital in March 2016, earning Level III Trauma Center designation by the Trauma Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, expanding primary care services to six locations spanning across the Grand Valley from Fruita to Palisade and additional service lines that include spine and pain, a cardiovascular procedure center, a new medical office building and robotic-assisted surgical technology.

“I am truly excited to join Community Hospital at such a pivotal time, when healthcare and community commitment are more important than ever,” Williams said. “I look forward to working alongside an outstanding team dedicated to delivering exceptional care and support for the patients and families who rely on us.
