Peak Health Alliance

02/26/2026

Western Colorado deserves affordable, accessible, quality health care. Peak Health Alliance exists to make those rights a reality, fighting for our community all the way from Colorado to Washington.

Executive Director Rich Cimino (left, the short guy) and Valley Health Alliance Executive Director Chris McDowell (right, the tall guy) took our message to the nation’s capitol last fall, advocating for improvements around drug prices, surprise billing, and price transparency. This work will benefit Colorado Employers and Colorado residents.

Peak Health Alliance is a non-profit Healthcare Purchasing Coalition in nine Colorado counties that includes Durango, Pagosa Springs, Breckenridge, and Winter Park. Valley Health Alliance is a non-profit employer organization serving the Roaring Fork and Colorado River Valleys across Eagle, Garfield, and Pitkin Counties, working to make high-quality care more accessible and affordable for local employers and communities.

One voice can be ignored. One employer can be dismissed. One community can be drowned out. But together, we can make a difference.

Peak Health Alliance pools member market power to negotiate better health care prices. When we join forces, we unlock new possibilities for a future of accessible care.

Western Colorado is stronger together.

Let's join forces to lower health care costs! Great mission. Lofty task. We're doing it anyway, and we're making real progress.

But don’t just take our word for it.

Since Peak’s founding in 2019, we’ve expanded into nine mountain counties, covered thousands of individuals annually and reduced premiums by 13 - 17%, according to Journal of Risk and Insurance study.

Over the last seven years, we’ve evolved, adjusted and gotten creative to tackle what seems like an insurmountable challenge. Together, we’re turning obstacles into opportunities and fighting for rural Coloradans.

Did you know? The state of Colorado is filling in the gaps left by federal funding cuts. Subsidies ARE still available, and you may qualify.

The only way to know is to shop on the marketplace or call to talk to a broker. Many people who think they do not qualify for subsidies or tax credits are surprised to find they do. It is always worth checking, and now is the time!
