Our History

A Legacy of Care in Our Community

For decades, Rangely District Hospital (RDH) has been honored to serve the healthcare needs of our community—supporting generations of families on their journey to better health. Since our founding in 1960, we have remained dedicated to evolving alongside the region, ensuring local residents have access to quality, compassionate care close to home.

Growing to Meet the Needs of Our Region

As healthcare needs expanded, so did our commitment. In 2013, RDH proudly opened a state-of-the-art hospital facility, purposefully designed to deliver advanced medical services in a rural setting. This milestone marked a new chapter for healthcare in Rangely and the surrounding communities.

A Recognized Leader in Rural Trauma Care

With the opening of our new facility, RDH earned designation as a Level IV Trauma Center by the State of Colorado. This designation allows our team to provide critical, life-saving trauma care for patients across Northwest Colorado, ensuring rapid assessment, stabilization, and treatment when every second counts.

Excellence You Can Trust

Just one day after moving into the new facility, RDH underwent inspection—and received a perfect score. This exceptional achievement reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence, particularly in rural and frontier healthcare, where specialized skills, teamwork, and readiness are essential to saving lives.

Committed to Care—Today and Tomorrow

Rangely District Hospital continues to meet the unique healthcare challenges of our region by offering comprehensive services, advanced capabilities, and a dedicated care team. Our mission remains the same as it has always been: to ensure high-quality, reliable healthcare is available right here in Rangely, now and for generations to come.
