Who we are
Stemming from Baba's Magical Christmas, Chaffee Cares was created to address needs in the community beyond the holiday season. We strive to fill in the gaps where other public programs are limited or unable to assist. Chaffee Cares works closely with and accepts referrals and applications from third party professionals that work directly with local children, adults, seniors, and families in Chaffee County. Using a simple application process and the direction of the board, we strive to quickly help those in need and are dedicated to a 24 hour turnaround time in most situations. By relying on the recommendation of third party professionals and delivering payment directly to the end vendor, there is no direct contact with the individual in order to protect their privacy.
All of our expenses are covered by a core group of volunteers so that 100% of all donations received go directly to those in need. We are a 501c3 which allows all donations to be tax deductible.

Full service medical center
Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center is proud to provide personalized medical care close to home. First established in 1885 as the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Hospital, HRRMC initially catered to railroad employees and their families during the great western expansion. The railroad company sold the hospital in 1962 to a group of local community leaders. For 14 years, the Salida Hospital, as it was then known, was run as a private entity.
In 1976, the local investors were repaid when the Salida Hospital District was formed, making it a publicly owned institution. In 1989, the Salida Hospital was officially renamed Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center to better reflect the offered services. Our facility now serves the visitors to and residents of the Salida Hospital District, which includes Chaffee, western Fremont, and northern Saguache counties.
