Celebrating 20 Years of CRHC: Your Perspectives
0 Comments
These reflections on the past twenty years are part of our ongoing series for 2011 encouraging our members to share their thoughts with us. If you have memories, stories of why you love working rural Colorado, or thoughts on what “rural” means to you, please send them to sm@coruralhealth.org.
“In 1991, we moved into our own “new” 3,600 sq ft medical clinic after operating out of a small store front in downtown Lake City. On Jan 10, 2011, we opened for business in our new 7,000 sq ft clinic. Twenty years has been very good for medical care in Lake City. The old clinic is being remodeled into an EMS, Wellness and Conference Center and should be completed by the end of March.”

“Why we love rural Colorado: It’s all about the “relationships” for me. Building friendships and relationships is important to me and working in rural Colorado affords me the opportunity to do this, and do this I have! Also…..it’s where the mountains are! There are no mountains in the cities so therefore, if I lived in the city I could not take as much advantage of our gorgeous mountains as I have been able to in Gunnison, Fort Collins and Estes Park.”
