Dedicated to Meeting the healthcare needs
of Park County residents.

Just as we experience life changes, so has the
name, structure, mission, and focus of RMRH. 
From its conception in 1998, RMRH has strived to
provide local healthcare services to the residents
of Park County.  When the only remaining primary
care medical clinic in Park County was forced to
close in 2014, RMRH shifted its role from
providing ongoing assistance in maintaining
healthcare services to facilitating ease of access
for area residents.
