Healthcare
Close to Home
Matters
Every day, people in our community depend on Pagosa Springs Medical Center for emergency care, ambulance services, cancer treatment, surgery, diagnostic services, family medicine/primary care, physical therapy, and compassionate care close to home.
Your generosity helps make that possible.
The Pagosa Springs Medical Center Foundation connects people who care deeply about our community with opportunities to strengthen local healthcare, today and for generations to come.
Help Us Make the PSMC Downtown EMS Station a Reality!
Join us in the renovation of the PSMC Downtown EMS Station at 302 San Juan Street and help create a second, fully operational PSMC EMS station in downtown Pagosa Springs. Your support will help create a safe, functional home for 24/7 EMS crew and ambulance, positioning emergency response closer to downtown and the east side of our community.
When an emergency happens, minutes matter.
This station will help PSMC EMS respond more efficiently despite traffic, winter weather, busy community events, and the challenges of serving a large rural area.
Together, we can help ensure our EMS professionals have the facilities and resources they need to be ready when our community needs them most.

Building Healthcare Together Since 1959
The Dr. Mary Fisher Medical Foundation, doing business as the Pagosa Springs Medical Center Foundation, has been part of the story of healthcare in Pagosa Springs for more than 65 years.
The Foundation was incorporated in 1959 with a goal that was both ambitious and simple: bring local medical care to Pagosa Springs.
That community commitment helped establish the Dr. Mary Fisher Medical Clinic downtown and, over the decades, helped make possible expanded facilities, innovative technology and ultimately Pagosa Springs Medical Center.
The buildings and technology have changed tremendously since 1959.
The idea behind them has not: Neighbors helping neighbors have access to excellent healthcare close to home.
