This is the most technologically advanced hospital in southwestern Colorado. We discover all the services and the rooms and it is clear that it's almost good to be sick here!
This also promotes local art and has one of the largest collection. Thus, each hallway and each room (82 in total, all en suite) are decorated with paintings, prints, sculptures and old photographs.
Regional Medical Center Mercy (Mercy Regional Medical Center) was created in 1882 by the Sisters of Mercy. They were then five in number to manage the business which is still a non-profit hospital.
Buildings and equipment are purchased and renewed through donations. This is the responsibility of raising funds made us proud to discover places. It
there to be proud! Among other sights, we visited the delivery room with bath for those who wish of course and also the mothers' rooms all furnished in wood and even the possibilities of alternative therapies such as massage, acupuncture, aromatherapy ... etc.
Change of scene for the following: We had lunch in a brewery and make the area around the tanks and bottling before tasting a sample of 5 different beers, all made on site with the greatest passion! After a round
downtown for a break of two hours, we go to the "Medicine Horse Center. This is an equestrian therapy center like the one we visited near Colorado Springs but smaller. This property is also funded by donations.
And it's time to send us to the place of the Rotary evening ahead. The room is packed, as usual, and we meet or find the Rotary Club of Durango the 3 of us eager to discover more. We unroll our presentation with enthusiasm. It is as if we were doing every time a small piece of theater and we've got a taste. It must be said our hosts are good audience and they laugh at our jokes or defects in pronunciation (especially mine!).
We leave in a warm embrace and we return to the last night in our host families.
Here ends my evening after a hot tub in the moonlight duly served with a delicious glass of red wine ... Paradise!
And Tomorrow: Day relaxing with our hosts who provided us discover the surrounding forests ...
