Tough enough to wear pink is an amazing asset to the people in our valley. The relationship between TETWP and Gunnison Valley Health has allowed us to bring home care and services that we would not be able to provide without their support.
I also had numerous women tell us thank you during the spa night. They had each been putting off their screening mammo due to financial reasons and TETWP’s support allowed us to provide those mammograms at no charge.
Just this week I had another patient tell us how much they appreciated being able to receive the care she needed in Gunnison. She had to travel to Denver for other issues in the past and was effusive about how much stress was lifted from her shoulders by the ability to get all of her tests and exams done just a few minutes from home.
