We are proud to announce that several of our hospitals have achieved distinctions from Healthgrades, the nation's leading resource for hospital and physician search. Across 10 recognized hospitals in the Mountain Region, our system earned an impressive 24 total specialty awards for 2026. Penrose St. Francis received a whopping third of those awards!

Penrose Hospital is proud to receive numerous distinctions from Healthgrades! We're rated second in Colorado for Neurosciences and Stroke Care. We're celebrating 23 years in a row of treating sepsis and have earned 5-star ratings for heart attack care, cranial neurosurgery, colorectal surgery, and treatment of bowel obstruction.

These recognitions are a testament to the trust our community places in us and our caregivers' unwavering commitment to patient care.

On this International Day of Friendship, we salute two special officers who understand the mission.

When a community unites, incredible things happen! On behalf of Southwest Oncology, the Mercy Health Foundation is deeply grateful for the powerful partnership between the Plata County Sheriff's Department, the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 8, and Sergeant Farrell Dodge and Deputy Tyler Wiseman. Together, they have made a generous donation that will directly impact the lives of cancer patients in their community. This act of unity proves that together, we can make a real difference in the fight against cancer. Thank you, Plata Sheriff's Department, for showing us the strength of collective compassion. No one journey’s alone!
In honor of Shelley Dodge ❤️

We're celebrating with our Rural Health and Virtual Care teams for acquiring SEVEN brand-new, state-of-the-art telemedicine machines! These incredible machines are heading to small rural hospitals across Colorado and Kansas, bringing specialist and subspecialist care, like tele-stroke and cardiology, directly to communities that often lack on-site expertise.

This is the power of philanthropy in action! At CommonSpirit Mountain Foundation, and throughout . Our mission is to extend the healing ministry of God by partnering with our communities to improve health and well-being, especially for the vulnerable. These telemedicine machines are a perfect example of how we're turning generosity into life-saving access for those who need it most.
