Rural Community: Kremmling, CO

I finally got my placement for Rural Community Care: Kremmling, CO!



Naturally I had never heard of this town, before, so I spent a good amount of time researching it. Kremmling has its own Wikipedia page. I was also able to find their Chamber of Commerce website, which provides a lot of insight into the character of the town and what it has to offer. Aside from being situated a stone's throw away from three national parks, I'm particularly excited that the Quarter Circle Saloon has a pool tournament every Tuesday night!

I contacted the doctor with whom I will be working. He told me that his clinic days are four days a week with Thursdays off, and that he works one weekend per month at Kremmling Memorial Hospital. He also invited me to work with him covering the Triple DHip downhill dirt-bike race in the nearby town of Granby!

I think this is going to be a great experience.

  1. Fun! Broken bones are a natural consequence of dirt-bike racing, right. I just hope no one has any neck or back injuries. Where is the doctor's office located within Kremming?

  2. I'm not sure exactly, but I have narrowed it down to a 1.3 square-mile area.
