Message from our CEO

Welcome to our Ephraim McDowell Health website. We are honored that you have taken the time to visit.

From the moment you arrive on the campus of Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center, Ephraim McDowell Fort Logan Hospital or any one of our off site facilities, you become a part of a long tradition of distinguished health care. Built upon the legacy of Dr. Ephraim McDowell whose innovative abdominal surgery 200 years ago had worldwide impact on the medical community, our caregivers and practicing physicians aim to provide the highest quality health care and service to all our patients.

We are committed to treating patients, families and visitors with respect. We pledge to do everything we can to provide you with the greatest comfort possible should you need us.

Our commitment is to serve and grow; ensuring quality health and other services are available close to home. With input from our Associates, Medical Staff, Board Members, Volunteers and members of the community, we developed a strategic plan we call VISION 2020.
