Every month, a UCHealth oncology team hits the road so rural patients don’t have to.

Dr. Robert Hoyer and his care team spend a week in Trinidad and Lamar delivering clinic visits, infusions and chemotherapy right in local hospitals, supporting up to 150 patients who might otherwise face hours of travel. Their commitment brings life-saving cancer care closer to home for the communities that need it most.

Each month, a Colorado oncologist and team bring cancer care to rural towns -- cutting travel time and breaking barriers to treatment.

When Silver Cliff restaurant owner Willie Quinney learned his kidneys had failed, his close-knit community refused to let him face it alone. His stepdaughter started We’re Team Willie and neighbors across the Wet Mountain Valley organized fundraisers, offered prayers and spread the word in search of a living donor.

That donor turned out to be one of their own, Westcliffe businesswoman Loree Lund, who had eaten at Willie’s diner a few times. In February 2025, she gave Willie the ultimate gift: one of her kidneys. His transplant at UCHealth was a success, restoring his health and his signature optimism.

Now back at “Willie’s Place,” he greets every customer with gratitude and makes sure Loree never pays for a meal again.

In a small Colorado mountain town, one man's search for a new kidney ended when a fellow business owner gave the ultimate gift.

When Michael Sciortino left his small hometown at 18 to join the Air Force, he never imagined he’d become part of history. Just weeks after 9/11, he was among the first U.S. forces sent to Afghanistan. During a fierce battle, a bomb exploded just 40 feet away, launching him into the air and leaving him seriously injured. For his service, he became the first U.S. airman to receive a Purple Heart in Afghanistan.

After 24 years in the military, Michael found a new kind of mission, helping patients heal. Today, he’s a physician assistant at UCHealth Orthopedic Center – Grandview, working with patients before and after total knee and hip replacement surgeries. Whether he’s in the clinic or the operating room, Michael brings the same grit, precision and heart that carried him through combat.

The first US Airman to receive a Purple Heart in Afghanistan works at UCHealth. Michael Sciortino assists patients undergoing joint surgeries.
