SAN Luis VAlley Health

San Luis Valley Health was formed july 1, 2013. Prior to the merger that created San Luis Valley Health, the Hospital operated as an independent, not for profit Hospital for over 83 years. the merger brought together San Luis Valley regional medical center and conejos county Hospital. Prior to the merger, conejos county Hospital had been managed by San Luis Valley regional medical center since 2003. Slv Health serves the six counties of the San Luis Valley with a population of just under 50,000 and an area of over 8,200 square miles; larger than the state of new jersey. Slv Health employs over 650 employees and is the largest employer in the San Luis Valley. the trustees, providers and staff of slv Health are understandably proud of their tradition for providing care and service to our communities. Serving our low-income community means that we have a challenging payer mix with high medicaid, uninsured and relatively low commercial percentages. Thi has led to our organization being resourceful, creative and innovative in order to continue service with positive operating margins. Over the last ten years, our gross revenue has increased from $20m to in excess of $200m and the number of patients served has expanded several fold. New services have been added in medication oncology, inpatient rehabilitation, sleep disorders, women's imaging center, fixed wing medical transportation, genetic counseling, behavioral Health, cardiology, chiropractic, oncology/infusion therapy, urology, and more.
