St. Vincent Health is opening a new $26 million hospital in Leadville, Colorado. Construction of the 26,500-square-foot St. Vincent Health hospital began in 2019, and the facility was slated to open in spring 2021, but it encountered building delays due to COVID-19 and subcontractor outages for quarantine.
The current hospital building will be repurposed to house the St. Vincent Medical Clinic and Telehealth, Lake County Public Health Agency, outpatient physical therapy and rehabilitative therapy services, visiting specialist offices, and administrative offices.
The new hospital is adjacent to the old St. Vincent hospital that was built in 1958 and will replace the current building, which often needed expensive repairs to stay open, nearly closing its doors in 2015. The new hospital will support and promote the delivery of modern healthcare with improvements for patient care, safety, privacy, increased medical services, and operational efficiencies, including emergency room, urgent care, imaging services, therapy services, acute care, respite care, and surgical services.
