Roaring Fork Valley Frequently Ranked as One of the Healthiest Populations in the U.S.

by Aspen Valley Hospital

September 15, 2021

With health and wellness on everyone’s minds, the Roaring Fork Valley community is proud to receive frequent high marks when it comes to both.

From CNN.com to US News and Fox News, Pitkin County’s population’s commitment to healthy living shines bright, and the parts of Eagle and Garfield counties that fall within the rugged terrain of the Roaring Fork Valley are exceptionally healthy as well.

Of course, the environment in which we live matters just as much as personal dedication to a healthy lifestyle. In its recent ranking of healthiest U.S. communities, CNN.com notes environmental factors in the consideration set, including, “…air quality, drinking water safety, amount of land area covered by trees, and how many people lived within a half mile of a park.” US News awarded Pitkin County a 95.9 for environment.
