Southeast Colorado Hospital District, Springfield, Colorado sits in the plains of the United States. We have remarkable sunrises, sunsets and glorious star filled nights. Our quiet and quaint towns and communities in Baca county contains our hidden secrets of caring for our family, friends and neighbors. As shared by a recent new staff member, “He finds our communities to be very welcoming as he has traveled across the United States and has chose US over many other opportunities.”.

Southeast Colorado Hospital District (SECHD) has been serving the people and communities of rural Baca County for over forty years. The District was established in 1966 as a not-for-profit hospital and officially opened its doors in 1969 with 23 acute care beds. Since that time the District has followed its vision "to provide a comprehensive healthcare system to our isolated rural service area" through an active pursuit of enhanced health care services. Some key services added in fulfillment of this vision include the addition of a 40 bed intermediate care Long Term Care Center, establishment of a Home Health Agency and Hospice , a 16 bed secured Alzheimer's Care Unit and more recently a new Rural Health Clinic building in 2007.
