Why Give?
Your Contributions Save Lives
Your donation to the Telluride Medical Center Foundation supports TMC and contributes to life-saving emergency services, advanced clinical technology, and progressive wellness programs for our entire community.
Our Emergency Department takes care of patients who have had heart attacks, strokes, head injuries, broken bones, lacerations, altitude-related issues, illnesses, and injuries of all sorts.
“Our doctors would prefer to see you on the chairlift, but if you need us, we’re happy that we are able to be here and help. We are so glad to provide services when our patients need us most!”
– Dr. Diana Koelliker, Director, Trauma and Emergency Services
Our Primary Care team is busier than ever providing preventative care solutions to improve health outcomes.
“Prevention is the foundation of wellness for our patients. Yearly preventive visits are important to strengthen the patient-provider relationship and implement a comprehensive individual health plan. We look forward to seeing you this year.”
– Dr. Sharon Grundy, Medical Director, Primary Care
“I just have such high regard and…gratitude for the care that I got [after experiencing cardiac arrest]. I wouldn’t be able to be here without it.”
—David Fansler, patient
“The doctor was incredibly patient…with us. He explained that he was going to use a new device where they’d be able to take pictures of [my son’s crushed] leg right at his bedside…it was simple, quick, and awesome. Because they were able to realign his leg, [our son] didn’t need surgery.”
—Hilaree O’Neill, mother of patient
