The hospital prides itself on its mission of 'Neighbors Caring for Neighbors' and continues to uphold that philosophy in every service it provides. Lincoln Community Hospital and Care Center is situated in the town of Hugo, Colorado, a key location in Lincoln County. The hospital's historical journey began in the mid-20th century, driven by the returning soldiers from World War II and the local community's initiatives. The hospital now operates multiple family practice clinics and a care center, which opened in 1965 with 22 beds, dedicated to allowing elderly residents to enjoy their later years within their beloved community.
