FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Delta Health Welcomes Experienced Family Nurse Practitioner to Adult Primary Care Clinic
Delta, CO (June 3, 2025) – Delta Health is pleased to announce the addition of Huntyr Maclaskey, Nurse Practitioner, to the Delta Health Adult Primary Care Clinic team. Huntyr brings extensive experience in primary care and a passion for preventative medicine to serve patients across the Western Slope.
A longtime Western Colorado resident, Maclaskey has called the region home for 21 years after growing up in Grand Junction. His deep roots in the community reflect a strong commitment to serving local patients and understanding the unique needs of rural healthcare.
“I want to be an integrated part of patients’ health journey,” said Maclaskey on why he wanted to become a Nurse Practitioner. “Being able to spend individualized time with patients and establishing a relationship is one of the greatest parts of being a provider in healthcare.”
Maclaskey brings a diverse healthcare background that began in emergency medical services as an EMT/firefighter before transitioning to nursing. After earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), he discovered their passion for outpatient medicine and served as a nursing director for six years at an outpatient primary care practice. This leadership experience provided valuable insights into practice management and patient care coordination.
Continuing his educational journey, Maclaskey completed a Master of Science in Nursing with a Family Nurse Practitioner specialization (MSN-FNP) through the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. His clinical training included internships at various practices throughout Grand Junction, Montrose, and Delta, providing comprehensive exposure to the healthcare landscape across the Western Slope.
Maclaskey’s care philosophy centers on preventative health and patient-centered communication. “I emphasize preventative health first and ensure lifestyle modification is optimized for their health goals,” he said. “Patient-centered care is very important to me and good communication is emphasized in my visits. You’ll very rarely see me typing in a visit.”
Having worked exclusively in rural healthcare settings, Maclaskey appreciates the unique opportunities and challenges of serving smaller communities.
“Rural healthcare is all I have ever known,” said Maclaskey “I enjoy the opportunity to manage more conditions and consider patient’s social and cultural preferences, which is very diverse, in rural settings.”
Maclaskey expressed enthusiasm about joining The Adult Primary Care Clinic team, particularly the opportunity to provide care across multiple generations. “We have a great team of providers and staff at Adult Primary Care. I am proud to be a part of it,” they said. “I am most looking forward to following people across their lifespan. We serve a large age range and I like the ability to see multiple generations.”
Outside of healthcare, Maclaskey enjoys an active lifestyle that includes daily exercise and a passion for sustainable living. Along with his wife and two children, they maintain a diverse collection of animals including goats, ducks, chickens, and dogs. Their recent venture into greenhouse gardening and growing vegetables and fruit trees reflects their commitment to healthy living and environmental stewardship.
“Most recently, I have built a greenhouse and learning a lot about growing veggies and fruit trees,” said Maclaskey “I enjoy sharing success, and failure, stories of gardening.”
Maclaskey is currently accepting new patients. To make an appointment at the Delta Health Adult Primary Care Clinic, call 970.874.7668 or visit https://deltahealthco.org/internal-medicine/.
