Vail Health, formerly The Vail Clinic, was founded in 1965, and officially became “Vail Valley Medical Center” in 1980. That was its first year as a full-service hospital with one primary location and 25 physicians. In 2017, the name was changed to "Vail Health" with locations in nine towns, over 1,000 employees, 260 physician partners and 85 volunteers.
