Our Vision

Imagine a day in this Valley when we spend as much time, effort and resources on our behavioral health as we do our physical health.

Vail Health’s Eagle Valley Behavioral Health (EVBH) and Vail Health Foundation have launched a $100 million campaign to transform the Eagle Valley’s behavioral health system and landscape.

The It Takes A Valley campaign will include the efforts of multiple organizations across the valley to raise much-needed funds for provider access and capacity, prevention and education, crisis response and transition services, and school-based services.

Vail Health’s Precourt Healing Center

Vail Health is building a 50,000-square-foot inpatient behavioral healthcare facility at the Edwards Community Health Campus.

When adolescents and adults experience a behavioral health crisis in Eagle County, they currently must be transported two-or-more hours away to receive care. Vail Health’s Eagle Valley Behavioral Health is taking steps to address this need by building the Precourt Healing Center, a centrally-located, in-patient behavioral health facility in Edwards, Colorado.
