Don't wait for symptoms to talk about diabetes. Early screening can catch diabetes before it causes serious complications and it starts with a simple visit to your primary care provider.

Schedule an appointment with your P*P to discuss your risk and get screened.

What an incredible couple weeks for Dr. Gloria Beim at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy!

As Head Physician for Team USA, Dr. Beim has been at the heart of the action. She’s been busy keeping athletes strong, healthy, and competition-ready on the world’s biggest stage. And in true Dr. Beim fashion, she’s done it all with skill, heart, and even a little creativity (yes, balloon animals included).

We are beyond proud to have her expertise, leadership, and Olympic-level care right here at home in the Gunnison Valley. The same dedication supporting Team USA is the care our community receives every day. 🇺🇸🏔️
