Scott McCorvey Recognized With Vail Health Elevate Award
Scott McCorvey, MD, a doctor in the Vail Health Emergency Department, has been named the eighth recipient of the Vail Health Elevate Award. Vail Health created the Elevate Award in June 2022 to give patients and their families an opportunity to nominate and thank employees who have touched their lives in some way.
McCorvey was nominated by Elizabeth McDaniel, a fellow Vail Health employee and the director of the Family Birth Center, for the service McCorvey provided for both her late mother and her father, John Gottlieb.
Originally from Georgia, McCorvey completed his undergrad in Cell Biology at University of Georgia, his Master of Science at Colorado State University (where he met his wife, Kirsten), followed by his MD at Medical College of Georgia in Augusta and residency at Maine Medical Center in Portland, ME. He joined Vail Health in 2016 and is an avid kayaker and cyclist with a competitive spirit that always strives to be the best that he can possibly be in everything he does.
The Elevate Award directly aligns with Vail Health’s mission of elevating health across our mountain communities. Past Elevate Award winners include: Erin Perejda, the supportive care services manager and licensed clinical social worker at Vail Health Shaw Cancer Center, June 2022; Susan Vickerman, MD, a family medicine physician at Colorado Mountain Medical, August 2022; Meghan Gallegos, Howard Head Sports Medicine Physical Therapist, December 2022; Allie Morgan, Patient Care Unit Registered Nurse, April 2023; Christi Sewell, RN, OCN in the Patient Care Unit, June 2023; Jacey Hagen, a labor and delivery nurse in the Family Birth Center, September 2023; and Joe Drew, a nurse practitioner at Vail Health Behavioral Health, December 2023.
