The Vail Clinic, which was founded in 1965, officially became “Vail Valley Medical Center” in 1980, its first year as a full-service hospital. At that time, we had one primary location and 25 physicians. Today, Vail Health includes the hospital in Vail as well as affiliated service locations throughout Eagle and Summit counties, over 1,800 employees, 460 credentialed physicians, and around 90 volunteers.
