Intermountain Health Heart and Vascular-Delta Cardiology has moved into a larger clinic in Delta.

The new clinic at 155 Stafford Lane offers more than 2,000 square feet with four examination rooms, a procedure room and office space. The clinic also accommodates rotating specialists in physical medicine and rehabilitation who will see patients twice a month.

Patients receive general cardiology and heart rhythm care with a pathway to other services offered in Grand Junction, including cardiovascular and thoracic surgery and cardiac rehabilitation,.

"We are proud to offer more access to specialty care for patients in rural areas of Colorado," said Joya Boyd, executive director for Intermountain Health Western Colorado Medical Group. "These providers partner with St. Mary's Regional Hospital, which serves a 250-mile radius and is the only system to offer many of these specialized services."

The move is the result of cooperation among health care providers, including Delta Health, Intermountain Health Delta Cardiology and St. Mary's Regional Hospital.

Jonathan Cohee, chief executive officer of Delta Health, praised the effort. "This expansion in local services represents a step forward in helping create and increase access to care for those in our community. By working together, we can assure that patients have access to the best possible care without the need to travel outside the county."
