Intermountain Health Opens Grand Junction Physical Therapy Clinic
The new Intermountain Health Matchett Park Clinic opens Sept. 28, 2026, expanding access to physical therapy, rehabilitation and wellness services on the Western Slope.
Matchett Park Clinic is located inside the new Grand Junction Community Recreation Center (CRC) at 2836 Recreation Way. The clinic offers physical therapy and rehabilitation, including aquatic therapy, primary care, and orthopedic-related rehabilitation services.
“The clinic is designed to connect healthcare and wellness in one location, allowing patients to continue their recovery and fitness journey in a community recreation setting,” said Bryan Johnson, Intermountain Health Western Colorado market president. “It represents our vision for a healthier community, where people have the resources and support they need to live their best lives.”
Within the physical therapy and rehabilitation services, therapists will focus on recovery after surgery, injury rehabilitation, pain management, strength and mobility improvement, and helping people return to everyday activities.
“Movement is medicine. Our partnership with the CRC creates a natural bridge between physical therapy and lifelong wellness, allowing patients to transition into active, healthy lifestyles with confidence and support,” said Tom O’Donnell, manager of Rehab Services for Intermountain Health. “After completing their therapy, patients can continue exercising and building strength using the recreation center's facilities or another gym of their choice.”
Primary care services will focus on wellness rather than acute patient needs. People will visit for wellness exams, sports physicals, and annual vaccines.
Intermountain Health St. Mary's Regional Hospital is the official health and wellness partner of the Grand Junction Community Recreation Center, reflecting the organization’s commitment to expanding opportunities for people of all ages to stay active, connected and well.
As part of the partnership, St. Mary’s will offer free wellness classes and educational programs to help people stay active, prevent injuries and make informed health decisions.
Upcoming free classes:
· Get Ready for Ski Season: Improve your performance and reduce your risk of injury. 6:30-8 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 12
· Defying Gravity Fall Prevention: Build strength, improve balance, and learn how to prevent falls. 1 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 9
