State Survey Finds 'No Deficiencies' at San Luis Valley Health

San Luis Valley Health is proud to announce the results of our most recent survey conducted by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). The survey concluded with “no deficiencies or findings,” an exceptional outcome in healthcare compliance, and a testament to our organization’s commitment to excellence. This finding means that after surveyors conducted a comprehensive and unannounced inspection of our entire facility, they did not make a single citation.

Why was this survey conducted?


CDPHE conducts surveys every 3 years at all licensed healthcare providers to ensure that rules and regulations are being followed. Surveys are conducted to certify healthcare providers are following all regulations by the CDPHE and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Healthcare providers that pass their survey are recertified through CDPHE and re-licensed through CMS. All survey findings are publicly available for all licensed healthcare providers.

An Environment of Readiness

Achieving such an outstanding survey result is the culmination of the collective efforts of everyone at San Luis Valley Health. ‘We are committed to fostering a safe environment for our patients every single day. We take pride in this excellent survey outcome and remain dedicated to our ongoing commitment to providing exceptional healthcare to the San Luis Valley,' said Michelle Gay, Director of Compliance at San Luis Valley Health.

Because surveys can occur at any time and are unannounced, maintaining a constant state of readiness is essential. According to Gay, 'Our goal is always to be survey-ready.' The results of this recent survey are a testament to the combined efforts of all San Luis Valley Health’s employees. Their dedication and teamwork are integral in upholding the highest standards and creating the best possible environment for our patients.
