History

Vail Health Hospital began as Vail Clinic in 1965 and was staffed by just one doctor, Dr. Tom Steinberg. The first hospital building was constructed in 1967, and it was expanded in 1979. In 1980, the clinic changed its name to Vail Valley Medical Center. By this year, it had 25 full-time doctors on its staff. Major expansions took place in 1987, 1989, and 2001, when Vail Health's Shaw Regional Cancer Center opened. In 2017, Vail Valley Medical Center changed its name to Vail Health, its current name. [4]

In December 2020, the hospital opened a new, $194 million wing, the East Wing. The 350,000-square-foot (33,000-square-meter) wing brings the hospital campus's total floor space to 520,000 square feet (48,000 square meters). The new wing features a helipad on the roof, with an elevator that brings patients directly to the emergency department. [5]
