Southwest Memorial deserves community support

I was recently admitted to Southwest Memorial Hospital for medical care. I went from radiology to the emergency room to intensive care. While health care takes time, Southwest Memorial Hospital provided timely, compassionate treatment.

The staff was exceptionally professional, well educated and informative. Doctors, nurses and staff were especially attentive to both the physical and psychological aspects of my care. And the food is great!

The staff works long hours for what I hope is fair compensation.

Ignore the community grumblings and comments to “go to Durango.” We have a first-class hospital here in Cortez.
