We\u2019re excited to now be part of that movement and to have access to innovative technology, additional subspecialists and improved coordination of care for our patients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In July 2016, YVMC announced it would seek a Front Range partner. On March 1, after an extensive competitive review process, YVMC said it would explore a partnership with UCHealth. The organizations signed a definitive agreement on June 7 to cement their long-standing relationship. Today, Sept. 1, 2017, the transaction is effective and YVMC is officially part of UCHealth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Next Steps<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now UCHealth Yampa Valley Medical Center, the hospital will continue to grow as a hub of advanced care for patients throughout the region. The Steamboat Springs community and YVMC will benefit from investments of more than $105 million from UCHealth, including commitments related to technology, behavioral health and substance abuse resources; infrastructure and service line improvements and expansions, including those related to orthopedics and emergency and trauma services; a significant donation to Yampa Valley Medical Center Foundation and partnership in the UCHealth Integrated Network. This broader network of care will continue improving value, quality, provider satisfaction and patient experience.<\/p>\n<p>Work has already begun to implement a number of technology systems, including EPIC, a leading electronic medical record software system. A patient portal, My Health Connection, and a mobile app will give patients additional access to their medical data and general health information. UCHealth and YVMC are also discussing plans to recruit providers and increase the number of innovative clinical trials and advanced treatments available to patients in northwest Colorado.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is just the tip of the iceberg,\u201d said May. \u201cOver the next ten years and beyond, patients and our community will see and feel the benefits of this partnership. UCHealth has a huge focus on population health and keeping people healthy. They understand the importance of us providing local care and want to make sure our patients have the right access at the right time.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11780\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11780\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11780 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/08\/31084300\/YVMC_JBCC_CommonArea_0217-1.jpgeee.webp\" alt=\"Photo of a waiting room at UCHealth Yampa Valley Medical Center with a view of winter snow outside the windows.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/08\/31084300\/YVMC_JBCC_CommonArea_0217-1.jpgeee.webp 1200w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/08\/31084300\/YVMC_JBCC_CommonArea_0217-1.jpgeee-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/08\/31084300\/YVMC_JBCC_CommonArea_0217-1.jpgeee-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/08\/31084300\/YVMC_JBCC_CommonArea_0217-1.jpgeee-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/08\/31084300\/YVMC_JBCC_CommonArea_0217-1.jpgeee-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/08\/31084300\/YVMC_JBCC_CommonArea_0217-1.jpgeee-200x133.webp 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11780\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by UCHealth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>YVMC\u2019s Board of Trustees will continue to provide local governance.
