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. KCCMH service area encompasses 2161 square miles and is home to approximately 8,000 year-round residents. Burlington is also home to the famous Kit Carson County Carousel and the historical Old Town Museum.

โœจ The holidays are hereโ€”a season of joy, gatherings, and meaningful moments. But for many, this time of year can also bring stress, loneliness, or overwhelming expectations.

Taking care of your mental health is just as important as checking off your holiday to-do list.
๐Ÿ’› Give yourself permission to set boundaries.
๐Ÿ’› Say no when you need to protect your time and energy.
๐Ÿ’› Make space for rest, reflection, and connection with people who support you.

If you find yourself struggling, please remember: youโ€™re not alone. Self-care isnโ€™t selfishโ€”itโ€™s how we stay grounded, healthy, and able to show up for ourselves and others.

Letโ€™s make this holiday season one of kindness, balance, and true well-being.
If you need support, our Behavioral Health Specialists are here to help.
