Southeast Colorado Medical Professionals' Letter To The Community

October 18, 2021

We are current, former & retired medical professionals who have devoted many, many years of service to the health & well-being of Bent, Crowley & Otero Counties & all of Southeast Colorado.  We have counseled you in times of health & illness, cared for you during medical emergencies, delivered your children & grandchildren, provided all manner of care, performed surgeries, treated your parents & grandparents, and nursed you back to health, all while raising our own families in Colorado communities.  We care deeply about the people who live in Southeast Colorado.

We are all vaccinated against COVID-19 & have vaccinated our eligible family members.  The COVID-19 vaccinations are safe & effective, particularly with respect to the prevention of severe illness & death from COVID infection.  The vaccine also reduces the risk of infecting others.  We strongly urge everyone who is eligible to schedule an appointment to receive the vaccination or talk to his/her medical provider about any specific concerns.

Bent, Crowley, Otero & the surrounding counties have trusted our medical knowledge for decades.  We ask that you trust us now for accurate & reliable guidance about COVID-19 vaccination.  Get vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as possible to protect yourself, your family & our community.  Be healthy & be well!
