|  | Our History
The history of Pioneers Medical Center begins in 1947 with the generous endowment from Freeman Fairfield.
In 1950, PMC opened its doors providing clinical and acute care services. In 1960, Adelaide and Carl Walbridge’s generosity made it possible to grow the PMC campus to include The Walbridge Memorial Wing, a licensed skilled-nursing facility.
In 1998, through the generosity of the entire community and foundations, the PMC campus expanded to meet the growing community needs and added the Meeker Family Health Center. During this recent expansion several other services were able to grow, such as surgical services, rehabilitation therapy, cardiopulmonary services, laboratory and radiology services.
Today, PMC is a vibrant rural healthcare center. It offers a Level IV Emergency Room/Trauma Center to stabilize and treat emergency patients. Modern technology allows PMC to perform proactive health services such as cancer screenings, child wellness, women wellness, and much more. Additionally, PMC has collaborative relationships with St Mary’s Hospital, in Grand Junction and Valley View Hospital, in Glenwood Springs, to increase patient care. |
