📰 News we're reading

• About our RHTP Awardees (colorado.gov) — Telluride residents should know that Telluride Regional Medical Center is receiving $443,462 through Colorado's Rural Health Transformation Program to strengthen local care. The statewide awards aim to expand telehealth, bolster rural EMS, and support behavioral, maternal, and pediatric services, meaning this new investment could translate into better access and more robust health resources close to home.
   

• Designing a House That Defers to the Beauty of Telluride, Colo. (nytimes.com) — A couple from Texas snapped up a five-acre lot in Telluride that perfectly frames the box canyon, Wilson Peak, and the San Sophia ridgeline, then designed a home to showcase those views. Their story highlights how scarce such prime parcels have become and what it now takes to secure a dream second home in Telluride's stunning landscape.
