In a significant step to enhance healthcare access and services in western Colorado, Montrose Regional Health has officially opened its new, state-of-the-art Ambulatory Care Center (ACC). Strategically located at 3330 S. Rio Grande Avenue in the thriving River Landing commercial area, the four-story, 87,822-square-foot facility expands the system’s outpatient capabilities and consolidates services previously spread across multiple sites.
Set against the scenic backdrop of the San Juan Mountains, Montrose is a picturesque community on Colorado’s Western Slope, and Montrose Regional Health plays a vital role in delivering care across a rugged, seven-county service area larger than the state of Vermont.
Developed in partnership with Denver-based NexCore Group LLC, a nationally recognized healthcare real estate firm, the new ACC is fully leased and designed to deliver a streamlined, one-stop experience for patients. The project also includes significant contributions from Harrison Street Real Estate Capital, locally based Cedar Point Health, and physician investors. Montrose Regional Health retains ownership of the land, which is leased long-term to the facility’s ownership group.
“This facility represents a major milestone for Montrose Regional Health as it continues to elevate its position as the preferred healthcare provider in the region,” said Jim Hartmann, executive vice president of real estate development with NexCore. “It’s not only a beautiful and highly functional building, but also a hub for new specialties, improved efficiency, and expanded patient services.”
The ACC provides a centralized location for outpatient services, while also accommodating Cedar Point Health—a leading primary care group occupying the entire third floor with approximately 23,000 square feet. Since the building’s opening, healthcare providers report increased patient volumes, enhanced care delivery, and cost efficiencies.
“This project has helped Montrose Regional Health ‘step up its game’ by reducing outmigration, recruiting new specialists, and strengthening the health system’s market position amid growing competition from larger systems,” Hartmann added. “The response from the community has been overwhelmingly positive.”
The Montrose Regional Health Ambulatory Care Center was recently recognized as a finalist for the prestigious 2024 HREI Insights Awards in the category of Best Medical Office Building (50,000 – 99,999 square feet).
With the successful opening of the ACC, Montrose Regional Health continues its mission to deliver exceptional care closer to home for the residents of southwestern Colorado.
