GRANBY, CO – Middle Park Health is pleased to announce that its Granby Campus will begin reopening this evening, Monday, October 12, at 6:00 PM MDT, following a thorough environmental assessment conducted in collaboration with community partners and qualified environmental professionals.
The temporary closures over the past several days were prompted by an unusual odor noticed by staff during routine boiler maintenance on Saturday, October 10. During this maintenance, accumulated calcium and mineral deposits inside the boiler were being cleaned. The heating of these deposits produced an odor that traveled through portions of the building’s ventilation system.
Out of an abundance of caution, Middle Park Health temporarily suspended operations while working alongside local emergency response agencies and environmental professionals to investigate and evaluate the conditions.
Environmental testing and professional assessment determined that the conditions presented a low-level irritant exposure, with no hazardous exposure identified. Following a collaborative evaluation with community partners and environmental experts, the facility has been deemed safe for patients and staff to return.
“The health and safety of our patients and employees have remained our highest priority throughout this process. We recognize the disruption these temporary closures have caused and appreciate the patience and understanding of our community as we worked alongside our partners to thoroughly evaluate the situation and safely restore services,” said Jason Cleckler, Middle Park Health CEO.

Middle Park Health extends its sincere appreciation to its dedicated staff for their quick response and professionalism, as well as community partners, including Grand County EMS, Granby Police Department, Grand Fire, Grand County Sheriff’s Office, and the environmental professionals who assisted throughout this process.
We also recognize our Fraser and Kremmling teams for their flexibility and continued commitment to providing patient care during the temporary closures.
