In 1955 our parents, Margaret and Philip Isely, started something amazing—Natural Grocers®. Natural Grocers grew organically from their visionary beliefs and has been nurtured by our (Margaret and Philip’s children’s and grandchildren’s) dedication to the same ideals and values. We care deeply about the health and wellbeing of our neighbors, our family, friends, community and planet. And we believe that everyone should be able to afford health and live in a thriving, regenerating environment.

Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center is proud to provide personalized medical care close to home. First established in 1885 as the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Hospital, HRRMC initially catered to railroad employees and their families during the great western expansion. The railroad company sold the hospital in 1962 to a group of local community leaders. For 14 years, the Salida Hospital, as it was then known, was run as a private entity.
In 1976, the local investors were repaid when the Salida Hospital District was formed, making it a publicly owned institution. In 1989, the Salida Hospital was officially renamed Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center to better reflect the offered services. Our facility now serves the visitors to and residents of the Salida Hospital District, which includes Chaffee, western Fremont, and northern Saguache counties.
