This Memorial Day, we pause to remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country — and the families who carry that sacrifice every day.

As a rural healthcare organization, we understand the meaning of service, sacrifice, and community. Many of our patients, staff, neighbors, and loved ones have worn the uniform or supported someone who did. Today, we honor those who gave everything for the freedoms we often take for granted.

“For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” — Galatians 5:13

May we use the freedoms they fought for to care for one another with compassion, gratitude, and humility.

From all of us at Lincoln Health — thank you to our fallen heroes. 🇺🇸

As Hospital Week comes to a close, we want to end the week by hearing from the people who matter most — our patients, residents, families, and community. ❤️

Through our Patient Voices series, we share real stories from the people whose lives have been impacted by the compassionate care provided right here at Lincoln Health. From emergency moments to long recoveries, routine visits to life-changing diagnoses, these stories remind us why local healthcare matters.

If a Lincoln Health employee, provider, nurse, therapist, transporter, aide, housekeeper, dietary staff member, or any member of our team has made a difference in your life, we would love to hear your story.

Whether it was a moment of comfort, exceptional care, kindness during a difficult day, or support when you needed it most — your words matter, and they encourage the healthcare heroes who show up for this community every single day.

🏥 This Hospital Week, we’re celebrating the people who make healthcare personal in rural Colorado.

Behind every patient visit, late-night emergency, clinic appointment, therapy session, and phone call is a team that genuinely cares about this community and the people in it.

Kathy Richie has been part of the Lincoln Health family for decades, and her words reflect what so many of our team members feel — this hospital is more than a workplace. It’s a mission, a family, and a commitment to keeping care close to home for our neighbors, friends, and loved ones.

Rural healthcare takes heart, dedication, and people willing to serve wherever they’re needed. This week, we’re proud to recognize the individuals who continue showing up for our communities every single day. 💙

In Rural Colorado, we don’t expect things to last without effort.

We know what it takes to build something—and we know what it takes to preserve it.

Healthcare close to home exists because people before us put in the work to make it possible. Now it’s on us to carry that forward.

The Rural Hospital Revitalization Act of 2026 is one step toward making sure rural communities have what they need to keep care close to home—now and into the future.

At Lincoln Health, this isn’t theoretical. It’s our responsibility to the people who depend on us every day.

Because in rural communities, we don’t walk away from what matters—we step up.

🚀 To Infinity… and Beyond for Our Patients

This week, we’re celebrating Medical Laboratory Professionals Week—and the incredible team behind the scenes who make accurate, timely care possible every day.

The 2026 theme, “Lab Story: To Infinity and Beyond for Our Patients,” recognizes the vital role our laboratory professionals play in diagnosing, treating, and caring for our communities.

Every lab result tells a story—one a provider may not be able to diagnose without it—making the role of our lab professionals essential to patient care.

From early mornings to late nights, their work may not always be seen—but it’s felt in every test result, every diagnosis, and every life impacted.

At Lincoln Health, our lab team doesn’t just process samples—they help guide care, support providers, and ensure our patients receive the answers they need, close to home.

Join us in thanking these dedicated professionals for going above and beyond—every single day.
