Sad news.
Now that’s its closed, nearest rural hospital is Heart Of The Rockies Hospital in Salida, Colorado an hour’s drive away.
Its part of the Centura Health network, its modern, efficient and well-run. Its on the outskirts of the city.
Leadville’s residents have to go for a long drive for medical care. I don’t envy the fact they no longer have a hospital serving them nearby.

Hopefully there are some doctors in town, otherwise, if there is a medical emergency, the only thing you can do is plop them in the car, drive like crazy and pray they don't die along the way. B-(
