Community Hospital celebrated its 10th anniversary at 2351 G Road, where the independent, nonprofit health-care organization moved on March 17, 2016.

On that day, multiple local ambulance-service agencies helped Community Hospital move all of its inpatients from the old hospital at 2021 N. 12th St. to the new hospital. Community Hospital began receiving patients at the new location at 6 a.m., and the first baby was delivered at 4:55 p.m. that day.

Prior to opening the new hospital, Community Hospital had not delivered babies for 16 years. When Community Hospital stopped delivering babies at the old location in 2000, it quickly became the most requested service among patients in the Grand Valley, the hospital said in a news release.

“It was a huge vote of confidence to start delivering babies on our very first day open in our new hospital,” said Chris Thomas, president and CEO of Community Hospital. “Expectant parents have been extremely pleased with The Birth Place at Community Hospital, and our exceptional patient satisfaction scores reflect that every day.”

Community Hospital is a Level III Trauma Center that offers full outpatient diagnostic services and inpatient care for the Western Slope region of Colorado and eastern Utah.

“I am confident our current facility will serve the health care needs of our community for decades to come,” Thomas said.
