Where You'll Work

We believe in the healing power of humanity and serving the common good through our dedicated work and shared mission to celebrate humankindness. 

Kit Carson County Memorial Hospital’s mission to be the trusted provider of rural health care services can be traced back to 1946 when the Burlington Rotary and community members dedicated time, money and volunteer hours towards building a county hospital in Burlington, Colorado. Over the years, there have been numerous changes and additions to the hospital to update the building and remain current with technology. In 1996 Kit Carson County Health Service District (KCCHSD) was formed. The purpose of forming KCCHSD was to encompass the clinics and home health and hospice outside of the hospital. Today, Kit Carson County Memorial Hospital is proud to be recognized as a Top 100 Critical Access Hospital with accolades including their Performance Leadership Award for excellence in Patient Perspective and Quality categories. KCCHSD is an affiliate of CommonSpirit Health. Kit Carson County Memorial Hospital - Care Close to Home video.
