Emergency Department

The emergency department at Kit Carson County Memorial Hospital (KCCMH) is a medical treatment facility specializing in acute care of patients who come without a prior appointment, either by their own means or by ambulance. The emergency department is located at the northwest entrance at Kit Carson County Memorial Hospital and operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

What to bring with you to the emergency room and your provider’s appointments:

Your insurance card and driver’s license or other valid form of identification.
A list of your medications, allergies and surgeries. If you do not have a medication list ready, please bring the bottles with you.
Your primary provider’s name and phone number if that person is not local.

Level IV Trauma Facility

The emergency department at KCCMH is designated as a Level IV Trauma Facility without reservations or deficiencies by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. The emergency department at KCCMH sees an average of 2,500 patients each year. A third of these visits are trauma related and approximately a fourth of ER visits are pediatric (ages 14 and younger) related.

As a Trauma Level IV Facility our ER is equipped to handle patients that come through our doors 24/7. However, access to a second set of eyes and ears can be beneficial in critical cases. The eCare Emergency service provides that extra support to KCCMH’s clinicians when needed.
