Events

Poudre Valley Hospital opened in 1925 as Larimer County Hospital. It became Poudre Valley Hospital (PVH) in 1980.

Poudre Valley Health System, which owns and operates PVH and Medical Center of the Rockies, was named one of three winners of the 2008 Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. PVHS was the only healthcare provider to win the award in 2008. Vice President Joe Biden presented the Baldrige award to PVHS in Washington, D.C., on Dec. 2.

Poudre Valley Hospital received attention in 1998 as the hospital where Matthew Shepard was taken after being attacked outside Laramie, WY. The sudden rush of traffic to the hospital's web site required reconfiguration of the site to support the traffic.
