In 2024 the TRMC increased community member prevention by 10% – but still only 56% of TRMC patients receive their annual preventive care.
It is recommended that you see your Primary Care Provider once per year for an annual visit to review important health screenings and age-related guidance.
In the month of May, during the quiet season in Telluride, TRMC is adding additional visit times for these important exams. Restaurant industry workers, hospitality staff, service workers, outdoor industry professionals, and anyone else who may be uninsured or underinsured: this is for you. Take advantage of more availability at TRMC while town is quieter, and schedule an appointment for your annual wellness exam.
The Spring Health Month special includes an exam and corresponding blood work for $185 or less for adults; $50 for kids.
TRMC is scheduling these specials throughout May, including:
Age-appropriate screenings for:
Heart disease
Diabetes
Cancer
Blood cell count
Kidney health
Liver health
Labs recommended are based on each individual patient to:
Assess risk factors for common preventable conditions
Screen routinely for cancers, heart disease and diabetes
If you are worried about costs or lack insurance, don’t hesitate to reach out and call for more details. Spring Health Month pricing is specifically for annual wellness exam visits, however TRMC offers financial assistance for other types of visits as well.
Many Colorado residents are caught in a cycle of medical debt, a vicious cycle in which they forgo medical care to avoid bills, leading to worse health and more debt. Preventive care is crucial, as it detects health issues early on, making them cheaper to manage and helping to break this cycle of accruing medical debt.
Come see TRMC today for an affordable preventive visit to stay ahead on top of your health!
Dr. Gaylord, Dr. Turner, and Andrew Brown, PA are available for these visits. And our newest provider, Dr. Sam MacBride, is accepting new patients, so we encourage you to establish care with him today.
TMRC has a team of certified interpreters ensuring language is no barrier to health care. They are available to support you in Spanish during your appointment.
For our younger community members, we recommend starting annual well visits as early as 3 years old. Scheduling these visits each spring helps so you don’t find yourself with a teenager scrambling to fit in a physical before school starts
