Misinformation can be harmful. We appreciate that people are looking out for one another. However, we have not received any communication from officials regarding ICE raids at any Peak Vista location. These rumors are unfounded. We are deeply concerned this information could stop patients from seeking the care they need. We are committed to upholding laws that protect patient privacy, including HIPAA regulations. We acknowledge the stress and uncertainty the recent changes to the Sensitive Locations Policy have caused for our community. While we have had no contact with ICE or law enforcement about this, we are legally required to comply if they visit our facilities. We understand and share your concerns. To keep yourself informed and prepared, we encourage you to review the Know Your Rights handout.

Connor Fields is a three-time Olympian, two-time World Champion, and the first American to win Olympic BMX Gold. As one of the world's all-time greatest BMX racers, Connor has represented the United States 50+ times in 25+ countries. At 17-years-old, Connor became the youngest rider to ever podium a BMX World Cup.
However, his racing career was not always marked by triumphs. At the 2021 Tokyo Games, as the number one seed in his semi-final and on pace to battle for another medal, Connor went down in one of the worst crashes in Summer Olympic history. Based on previous results, Connor still qualified for the 2021 Olympic BMX final, but instead of competing in that final race, he fought for his life in an ambulance.
Connor continues to ride and coach BMX — no passion for the sport lost to the worst of Olympic scenarios. His story has been featured by the Today Show, Sports Illustrated, and Vanity Fair Magazine. He was part of the Polo Ralph Lauren Sport campaign, has been a guest at the White House, and was nominated for a Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award.
