In 1980, the clinic changed its name to Vail Valley Medical Center. By this year, it had 25 full-time doctors on its staff. Major expansions took place in 1987, 1989, and 2001, when Vail Health's Shaw Regional Cancer Center opened. In 2017, Vail Valley Medical Center changed its name to Vail Health, its current name.[4]

The 350,000-square-foot (33,000-square-meter) wing brings the hospital campus's total floor space to 520,000 square feet (48,000 square meters). The new wing features a helipad on the roof, with an elevator that brings patients directly to the emergency department.[5]
