The Colorado State Mental Hospital at Pueblo was Colorado state's largest institution dedicated to caring for the mentally ill until 1962, when the process of regional decentralization resulted in it only serving the Pueblo area. The hospital itself first began operating in the 1880s. The main building of the hospital was opened on November 20, 1883. This early iteration of the Asylum was capable of holding 210 people across 6 wards and was generally equally divided between male and female patients. Asylum leadership consistently had to deal with overcrowding. To combat this, many additions were made to the hospital throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In early 1889 it was reported in the Leadville Daily Times that the hospital had requested a total of $93,436.27 for new constructions on their grounds. These additions did not permanently solve the overcrowding issue, which was addressed through new constructions up until the 1960s. In 1946, the hospital had 4,811 patients enrolled. The majority of the patients came from Colorado's three largest cities, Denver, Pueblo, and Colorado Springs, which made up over half of those receiving care at the hospital and their respective counties totaled 3,183 patients. Patient care and the constant need for new constructions led the hospital towards a difficult financial situation. In 1947, a special legislative committee indicated that they would be selling the Woodcroft portion of the hospital due to its poor condition and financial burdenThe hospital continued to expand up until 1962, when geographic decentralization led to the establishment of regional treatment hospitals that were located close to the patients home community. This resulted in smaller hospital units that were more able to provide intimate and personalized care. Currently, the hospital encompasses a 300-acre campus with numerous buildings for mental healthcare. In 2022, the hospital is capable of caring for 516 patients and cares for children, adults, and the elderly. The hospital also cares for those who were deemed incompetent after criminal proceedings or are still pending such a judgement.

LVCF also has a small Administrative Segregation (AdSeg, or solitary confinement) tower where LVCF female inmates, as well as male and female offenders from the Youthful Offender System (YOS) prison, can be temporarily housed for administrative or behavioral issues. All new YOS offenders spend the first 28 days of their YOS sentence in LVCF's AdSeg tower, where they undergo the orientation training phase of (YOS).Since 2006 La Vista has implemented a program where inmates may volunteer to work in the surrounding farm fields at harvest time, replacing foreign migrant labor, which has been increasingly hard to find due to immigration crackdowns.
