After months of anticipation and several delayed start dates, St. Vincent Health officially opened  Lake County’s new hospital last week with a ribbon cutting ceremony and open house for the public. At the event, St. Vincent Health CEO Brett Antczak, along with several other local leaders, offered remarks about the future of health care in Lake County.

“Our legacy really began about 142 years ago when three nuns stepped off a stage coach and were greeted by the miners of Leadville, Colorado,” said Antczak at Wednesday’s event. “Building upon their legacy of hard work and dedication to the health and wellbeing of those here in our community, we continue to build upon that effort as we open our new critical access hospital today.”
