San Luis Valley Health Receives $1 Million Grant from United States Department of Agriculture to Help Fund Renovations

With the help of a $1 million grant from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), San Luis Valley Health (SLVH) will be renovating a permanent structure to create five private rooms in an area of the hospital named “Three South.”

“The total project budget is about $3.1 million,” SLVH CEO Konnie Martin told the celebratory crowd of supporters who filled the lobby of the San Luis Valley Regional Medical Center last Wednesday. “Without this foundational funding from the USDA – a key piece in making this project happen – it would not have been possible for us to have achieved such a significant change.”

Telluride Regional Medical Center’s New Online Check-in Platform Helps Provide Tailored Care to Community

Phreesia allows patients to self-identify, ensuring our services are accurately tailored to everyone’s unique needs. As I, Hannah Max, Grant Writer and Medical Assistant at TMC, have often emphasized, this isn’t about pushing an agenda or identity; it’s about not assuming identities of our community members – it’s about knowing who’s here and who isn’t. This understanding is crucial in a town like Telluride, known for its inclusive spirit, yet lacking dedicated queer spaces. By allowing patients to self-identify, we can better serve them, making them feel seen and understood.
