Kit Carson County Memorial Hospital

Kit Carson County Memorial Hospital KCCMH is a comprehensive health network: Kit Carson County Memorial Hospital, Parke Health Medical Cl Burlington year-round residency is approximately 4,000.

As a special memorial to World War II veterans, efforts of farmers and the Burlington Rotary raised money to establish the Kit Carson County Memorial Hospital in Burlington, Colorado. Other local communities helped purchase much needed medical equipment allowing completion of the hospital without one dime of government assistance. Kit Carson County Memorial Hospital (KCCMH) was completed in 1948 and has been a primary healthcare facility in Eastern Colorado. From old-fashioned Colorado values, KCCMH took root and grew into the comprehensive health network it is today. Kit Carson County Memorial Hospital is a 19 bed Critical Access Hospital with an active Swing bed unit, acute care and a 24-hour Emergency Room classified as a Trauma Level IV facility. KCCMH is proud to offer two rural health clinics within the District; Parke Health Medical Center, located on the main campus and the Stratton Medical Clinic located in Stratton, Colorado. Also located on our main campus is our rehabilitation clinic, Parke Wellness & Rehabilitation Center. Our experienced team of local family medicine providers include two physicians, three family nurse practitioners, a behavioral health provider and a visiting nurse who provides services at patients' homes. KCCMH also boasts a very active and accomplished Specialty Clinic housing physicians who conduct on-site outreach clinics one to two times per month. Burlington is located 12 miles from the Kansas state line by Interstate Highway 70 and is approximately 170 miles East of Denver, Colorado.

When the focus shifts from cure to comfort, KCCMH is here.

Our case manager work closely with patients and families to provide peaceful, compassionate end-of-life care โ€” honoring wishes, preserving dignity, and creating space for meaningful moments.

Whether that means transitioning home or meeting patients where they are, we help coordinate care, offer guidance, and ensure comfort every step of the way.

No one should walk this season alone.
At KCCMH, we are here to support families with care that is private, respectful, and centered on what matters most.

๐Ÿ’™ Because compassionate care doesnโ€™t end โ€” it simply changes focus.

Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday โ€” donโ€™t forget to set your clocks ahead one hour before bed tonight.

While youโ€™re adjusting your clocks, take a few minutes to refresh your health and safety habits:

โœ… Test and replace batteries in smoke & carbon monoxide detectors
โœ… Double-check medication times and adjust if needed
โœ… Ease into the time change with good sleep habits
โœ… Use the extra daylight to take a short walk and get moving

Yes, we lose an hour โ€” but brighter evenings and signs of spring are on the way.

At KCCMH, we believe recovery doesnโ€™t always mean traveling far from family and familiar faces. Through our Swing Bed and Cardiac Rehabilitation programs, we help patients rebuild strength, regain confidence, and continue care โ€” right here at home.

Because getting back home is healing in itself.
Home is where youโ€™re supported by the people you trust.
Home is where youโ€™re surrounded by whatโ€™s familiar.
Home is where recovery feels possible.

Long-term community health happens when care stays local. And thatโ€™s what makes us strong as a community hospital.

On one of the busiest shifts of the year, the EVS team chose to stay late โ€” without being asked โ€” to help clean patient rooms. Their commitment allowed our medical team to stay focused on patient care during an extremely demanding time, even knowing they would be back at 6:00 a.m. the next morning.

This is what teamwork looks like at KCCMH. ๐Ÿ’š
Thank you for living our mission and supporting our patients and one another.
