Sedgwick County Health Center sits over on 900 Cedar Street in Julesburg, CO, and has 41 beds, with a focus on health information technology and keeping track of health care costs for a lot of things, like joint replacements and heart issues and other medical problems, which means they always look at what people are paying and see where those costs could maybe be better for folks. The health center pays attention to things like early elective delivery rates, watches the number of people who pass away while under their care, and works to keep folks from coming back to the hospital after being sent home. People can find hospital and staff ratings plus a stack of clear facts about infection rates, accident numbers, and patient experiences measuring things like how well nurses and doctors communicate, what rooms are like, and how and when people get their medicine. They've got 32 beds in a nursing home for seniors who need longer stays or help with daily life, and there's also the 10-unit Jacob J. and Ann B. Walter Assisted Living Center where people can get help with their medicine, meals, housekeeping, laundry, and enjoy activities like arts and crafts or go for outings, plus a beauty shop, all with round-the-clock staff, and they make sure everyone's treated equal with a policy of no discrimination.
The place has swing bed units for skilled nursing, does lots of inpatient services like Cardiology and Pulmonology, and has a busy emergency department-always open with the Level IV Trauma Center badge. They're a government facility with Critical Access status and offer both inpatient and outpatient care, plus the Valley Medical Clinic and a pain management clinic, and you'll find plenty of specialties there-Cardiology, Dermatology, Endocrinology, General Surgery, Psychiatry, Oncology, a good orthopedic surgeon, and more. They team up with providers like Dr. Julia B Trevino-Emerso and Dr. Amber V Moss, making sure folks can see the right specialists as needed. The health center isn't winning lots of new awards, but they share plenty of their numbers and safety outcomes right on Healthgrades or through their own website. The staff cares about keeping infection and accident risks low, reporting on things like blood clots, MRSA, C. diff infections, and more, and they work to prevent blood clots and give help fast if someone's having a stroke. People can find their patient experience score, which sits at about 65%, a little lower than most places, but you'll get a clear idea of what folks around here think about care at this health center. They offer immunizations, monitor community health, check resident needs through regular studies, and do all their hospital services out in the open for everyone to see. They have emergency services, general surgery, and keep a strong rehab department, along with timely communication through their website and even Facebook, which helps family and patients stay connected with everything at Sedgwick County Health Center.
