Revolutionizing our Behavioral Health System: EVBH 4 Years Later
Stricken with a rise in emergency room visits for anxiety and depression and an increase in suicides, the Eagle River Valley was hurting. In January 2019, with the community rallying to make a change, Vail Health committed $60 million to create Eagle Valley Behavioral Health (EVBH). Shortly followed, was the launch of It Takes A Valley: Transforming Behavioral Health, a $100 million fundraising campaign led by Vail Health Foundation and EVBH to transform the Eagle Valley’s behavioral health system through community partnership and collaboration.
Now, in 2023, with the generous support of the entire community, EVBH and our partners are revolutionizing our behavioral health system and building a model that can be replicated in communities across the country. Through our collective efforts, we are one step closer to our vision: Imagine a day in this valley when we spend as much time, effort, and resources on our behavioral health as we do on our physical health.
