The 2022 Report:
West Mountain Regional Health Alliance grew its reach and impact in 2022.
WMRHA continues its commitment to meet the mission to build an integrated health system to achieve optimal health for all people who live in the West Mountain region (Eagle, Garfield, and Pitkin counties). This happens through bringing together cross-sector partners to improve social outcomes through transforming often inefficient, fragmented systems.
