RANGELY DISTRICT
HOSPITAL
Rangely District Hospital began serving patients in 1947 with
three patient rooms and five beds. It was upgraded in 1961 and
effectively served the community until 2013, when a very modern
and beautiful facility was opened and designated as a Level IV
Trauma Center by the State of Colorado.

DENTISTRY
The Dental Hygiene Program at Colorado Northwestern
Community College in Rangely offers children and adults dental
cleanings, x-rays and dental education at a discounted rate as
part of the educational program. While this does not take the
place of regular dental exams it provides a great service that
would otherwise require additional time. Meeker also offers a
variety of dental care options from routine care to orthodontics,
implants, extractions and endodontics.
