UCHealth Estes Valley Medical Center

When Amy Davis arrived at the emergency room in Estes Park after a car accident near Rocky Mountain National Park, she believed she was mostly unharmed. She had no broken bones and felt alert, even reassuring staff that she was okay. But within minutes, subtle symptoms began to emerge. Tingling in her leg quickly progressed to weakness on one side of her body, signaling something far more serious than crash related injuries.

Providers at UCHealth Estes Valley Medical Center recognized the warning signs and acted immediately. The team made the critical decision to transfer Amy by helicopter to UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies. Stroke specialists were mobilized before she arrived. Imaging confirmed a rare trauma induced stroke caused by damage to her carotid artery, blocking blood flow to her brain. Amy was taken straight into an emergency thrombectomy to remove the clot and restore circulation.

The fast coordination between mountain caregivers, flight teams and stroke experts made the difference. After a short stay in inpatient rehabilitation, Amy returned home with no lasting neurological deficits. Months later, she returned to Colorado to thank the teams who saved her life, walking in under her own strength and with deep gratitude for care delivered when every second mattered.

Thanks to quick thinking by Estes Park nurses and doctors, Amy reached a nearby hospital quickly, where stroke experts provided vital care.

It's Colorado Gives Day and your gift can go twice as far!

Thanks to a generous $4500 match, every donation to the Estes Park Health Foundation Cancer Screening Fund will be doubled.

Your $250 becomes $500.
Your impact becomes life changing.

Why Give Today?
Because your generosity made stories like this possible.

H. lost her health insurance after a small wage increase and feared the cost and unknowns of a mammogram. With a complicated family history of cancer, she knew she needed a screening.

She received a voucher funded by donors through our Cancer Screening Fund.

That evening, she received her results: all clear.

She calls it 'the gift of no worry'.

Today, you can give that gift to someone else.
