Peak Vista Community Health Center Downtown
For almost 50 years, Peak Vista Community Health Centers has served the community of Colorado Springs, eastern Colorado, and the Pikes Peak region with health care for those who face barriers to access. Their whole-person approach to health care includes medical, dental, and behavioral health services as well as care coordination that connects people to community services and housing. The population facing the greatest barriers to health care are those experiencing homelessness. To best serve this group, Peak Vista retained RTA to design a full-service clinic at the corner of South Tejon and Las Vegas streets. This location is within walking distance of the Springs Rescue Mission, Greenway Flats apartments, and other downtown developments.
