Delta Health’s newest general surgeon, Will Cole, M.D., trained at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and after medical school, chose to serve in the military and has been deployed to Korea, Afghanistan and Iraq.

At Delta Health, the foundation of primary care and general surgery has built its foundation on a model designed around the comprehensive care needs to create and maintain healthy rural communities. We know that the rural healthcare landscape comes with many of its own challenges, but these providers, like all of Delta Health’s providers, value the special opportunity that rural care affords its providers. They get to know their patients so that they can provide the highest quality care and meet their needs. Please help me in welcoming these wonderful new providers to Delta Health and to The Western Slope.
