Spanish Peaks Regional Health Center is located on the high plains of Southeastern Colorado just three miles west of the rural town of Walsenburg, Colorado in Huerfano County. At an altitude of 6200 feet, our climate is mild, with cooler summers and warmer winters, and the air is crisp and clean.

Under a contract with the State of Colorado, the health center is operated by the Huerfano County Hospital District, a Colorado Special District, directed by a 5 member, county-elected Board of Directors.

Overlooking Lathrop State Park, with the spectacular Spanish Peaks serving as the backdrop, our health center consists of these visible units: Spanish Peaks Hospital, Colorado State Veterans Nursing Home - Walsenburg, Spanish Peaks Family Clinic and the Women’s/Outreach Center. Also located on our campus is a dialysis center, owned and operated by an international provider of dialysis services.

Spanish Peaks Hospital:
The hospital is licensed as a Critical Access Hospital with 25 acute care beds and operates a 24-hour level IV trauma emergency care center. The hospital offers a variety of medical services to patients and visitors of Huerfano County and surrounding areas, including Diagnostic Imaging, a full-service clinical Laboratory, Cardiopulmonary and Neurological Diagnosis and Therapy, Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapy, Surgical Services, and a variety of outpatient specialty clinics. The facility also offers VoiceCareTM Personal Response Systems.

Colorado State Veterans Nursing Home-Walsenburg:
The nursing home is a 120-bed long term care facility for our country's veterans and their spouses. We provide care to veterans from the region and nearby states. Built in 1993 and adjacent Spanish Peaks Hospital, the nursing home offers a bright, modern and comfortable atmosphere with views of the nearby mountains and State Park lakes. It provides a special care unit for Alzheimers and dementia residents.

Spanish Peaks Family Clinic:
Located just a few feet of the main facility, at the west end of the campus, resides our family medicine department of the hospital, Spanish Peaks Family Clinic. In a newly constructed facility, the clinic provides complete outpatient healthcare services to families and visitors of our beautiful region. Our friendly and talented staff offers appointments 5 days a week, to include a complete list of diagnostic and treatment services and programs of care.

Women’s and Outreach Center:
The Women’s and Outreach Center is located off-site in the town of Walsenburg. The center provides women’s health services, including the Colorado Women’s Cancer Control Initiative, family planning, and programs for new mothers. It is also the headquarters for the facility’s outreach and community health initiatives, many sponsored by generous grants from numerous, third-party agencies.

The population of our service area is approximately 12,000 and growing. Numerous recreational activities, including golf courses, Lathrop State Park, and San Isabel National Forest (with three national wilderness areas in the county), make our area attractive for families and retirees alike.

Spanish Peaks Regional Health Center is dedicated to providing the highest quality health care in a friendly and compassionate environment.
