KCCMH is a comprehensive health network that includes Kit Carson County Memorial Hospital, Parke Health Medical Center, Stratton Medical Clinic and Parke Wellness & Rehabilitation Center, with locations in Burlington and Seibert, Colorado. 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. 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 year-round residency is approximately 4,000.

🧼 Clean hands are one of the simplest ways to help prevent the spread of germs and protect yourself and those around you.

Make handwashing part of your everyday routine, especially before eating, after using the restroom and after coughing, sneezing or blowing your nose. Be sure to use soap and water and scrub your hands thoroughly before rinsing.

It's a great time to refresh your handwashing habits and remember how much a simple step can do to help keep our community healthy. 🫧
