Northwest Healthcare has had a presence in the Vail community for several years with Northwest Emergency Center, and with Northwest Primary & Specialty Care offices, but soon, their services in the area will grow. Northwest Medical Center Houghton, located at Houghton Rd. and Old Spanish Trail, is scheduled to open by the end of the year. The 52-bed, full-service hospital will feature 24/7 emergency care, comprehensive surgical care, including a cardiac catheterization lab, a Labor & Delivery unit with Neonatal Intensive Care, and Medical/Surgical, Telemetry, and Intensive Care units for patients who need to be hospitalized following an illness or accident. The hospital will also offer a full range of outpatient services, including laboratory testing, diagnostic imaging (x-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI and more), and physical, occupational and speech therapy services.

In addition to the hospital, Northwest Healthcare will also open a medical office building on the same campus early next year. Many physicians, including primary care providers, cardiologists, general surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and OB/GYN providers will be added to the community before the end of 2021.

Rincon Surgery Center is being built next to TMC Rincon on Houghton and Drexel Roads.

Construction is scheduled for completion mid February of 2022.
