Mountain Family Health Centers opens 9,000 square foot Rifle clinic, with a long-term lease at a charity price for land donated by Garfield County. Funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, The Colorado Health Foundation, Caring for Colorado, the Gates Foundation, Aspen Community Foundation and EnCana Energy Corporation made this possible, as the region and country suffered through the great recession. The Rifle clinic includes Mountain Family’s first full preventive and treatment dental facility, and Dr. Garry Millard, DDS comes on board to build the program.

The Basalt clinic is opened by Mountain Family in response to a request from a group of public health and social service agencies from Pitkin and Eagle Counties, along with Aspen Valley Hospital, who donated the space.

In a joint venture with Mind Springs Health (formerly Colorado West Regional Mental Health Center), financed by The Colorado Health Foundation, Mountain Family introduces the integrated health model with a Mind Springs mental health specialist providing services in the primary care setting.

Mountain Family is the only community health center invited to join the first cohort of medical practices in the Colorado Beacon Consortium, designed to improve quality and reduce cost of care.
