Chamber Spotlight

1. Please give some background/history on the opening/purchase of your business.

Haxtun Community Hospital's humble beginning started back in 1938 on the second floor of the Drake Mercantile building. It was operated by two registered nurses at the time. In 1960, Haxtun Hospital District was founded. Eight years later, in 1968, Haxtun Hospital District moved into its new building on West Fletcher, where it sits today as Haxtun Health.

2. Who are the owners/key players in your business?

The thing about our organization is that we cannot operate without one another. Each department, each person is equally as important as the next. Our CEO couldn't do his job if we didn't have nurses. Our nursing staff couldn't do their job without our dietary and EVS teams. Our EVS team couldn't do their duties if we didn't have providers seeing patients in the clinic. Each person is connected to giving our patients the best care and we can't do it by ourselves.

3. What services/products do you offer your customers?

Our services are aimed directly at what our community needs and we are always working to satisfy all their wishes right here in rural Colorado. Our hospital and clinics serve all ages, spanning from infancy to end of life care. We have an in-house pharmacy to fill prescriptions. Our rehabilitation team will help you recover quickly. Each month we have several Specialty Providers visiting our campus to treat the people of northeast Colorado.

4. Where are you located and how can a customer find/contact you?

Our main campus is located in Haxtun at 235 W. Fletcher Street. On that same block you will find the Haxtun Clinic and our Rehab building. Travel 12 miles to the East and you can visit the Haxtun Health Fleming Clinic at 204 N. Logan Avenue. You also may have noticed our new clinic in downtown Haxtun which we hope to unveil before the end of the year.

5. Are you on social media and what are those page names?

We keep a strong presence on our Haxtun Health Facebook page and you can also find us on Instagram, @haxtun_health.

6. Is there anything else you would want customers to know?

We understand how busy life can get, but we want to encourage you to prioritize your health this year. All too often, we put our own health on the back burner because it doesn't fit into our hectic lives. But instead of trying to play catch-up with your health later on, let's take a proactive approach and get you and your family on the right track to overall, long-term wellness. Appointments are available in Fleming and Haxtun, Monday – Saturday. Choose to prioritize your health today.
