Kit Carson County Health Service District is a comprehensive health network: Kit Carson County Memorial Hospital, Parke Health and Wellness Center and Home Health and Hospice.
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. Other local communities helped purchase much needed medical equipment allowing completion of the hospital without one dime of government assistance.
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 Health Service District (KCCHSD). 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.
KCCHSD is proud to offer two rural health clinics within the District; Parke Health Center, located on the main campus and the Stratton Medical Clinic located in Stratton, Colorado. Also located on our main campus are our rehabilitation clinic, Parke Wellness Center as well as Home Health and Caring Hands Hospice.
KCCHSD boasts a very active and accomplished Specialty Clinic housing over twenty physicians who conduct on-site outreach clinics one to two times per month.
Our local healthcare providers include three Physicians, three Mid-Level Providers and one independent physician with a Mid-Level Provider.
Burlington is located 12 miles from the Kansas state line by Interstate Highway 70 and is approximately 170 miles East of Denver, Colorado. KCCHSD service area encompasses 2161 square miles and is home to approximately 8,000 year-round residents. Burlington year-round residency is approximately 4,000.
