Ivinson Memorial Hospital, a 99-bed community hospital, continues to expand rather than scale back. The organization has completed a new women and children’s center, and is nearing the finish of a multi-phase emergency department renovation supported by public and private funding. Through its care alliance with Aurora-based Children’s Hospital Colorado, the hospital now provides 24/7 specialized neonatal and pediatric care, keeping young families close to home. Efforts to meet local demand have led to the launch of new service lines, including orthopedics and urgent care, as well as the recruitment of key providers across specialties. The hospital’s outreach is just as robust, offering monthly suicide prevention classes, free screenings and support for area nonprofits focused on youth, mental health and food security. Ivinson Memorial was named one of the top 100 rural and community hospitals by the Chartis Center for Rural Health for 2024.
