We have community-based clinics located across our region (west Adams, Boulder, Broomfield, and Gilpin counties) to provide our neighbors with convenient access to care right in their backyard. In 2022, we opened two clinics in Nederland and Black Hawk to better serve our rural mountain communities, which have historically had limited access to local health care providers and services.
