Peak Vista opens new health center in Colorado Springs
COLORADO SPRINGS — Peak Vista Community Health Centers has opened a new health center in downtown Colorado Springs.
The 5,000-square-foot facility is located at 111 E. Las Vegas St. and offers medical, dental and behavioral-health services, as well as care coordination and social-support services.
It serves individuals in the 80903 ZIP code and surrounding areas, including those experiencing homelessness. The facility replaces Peak Vista’s Health Center at Rio Grande, which closed Thursday.

As Mental Health Awareness Month unfolds in Colorado, it serves as a reminder of the collective responsibility to prioritize mental well-being.
“I am amazed at the expedient work of this team to make the Health Center Downtown a reality,” Peak Vista president and CEO Emily Ptaszek said in a prepared statement. “With supply chain issues, increasing material costs, skilled labor shortages, limited internet access, and more, in just 8 months, we persisted, as we have for 50 years. We made it happen because it is what our community needs, and it is what community health centers do. None of this would be possible without the unwavering determination and hard work of our Peak Vista team, construction partners and community partners.”
Peak Vista is a nonprofit providing health care to individuals facing access barriers.
