We're proud to share that Penrose and St. Francis hospitals in Colorado Springs were ranked in the top 5 in U.S. News & World Report's Best Hospital Rankings for Colorado. This recognition underscores the incredible quality of care our employees and providers give to our patients and community each and every day. Congratulations to the entire team at Penrose and St. Francis for this honor!

Today marks one year of providing exceptional care for our northern Colorado Springs community at St. Francis Hospital - Interquest. Happy anniversary SFI! In the past year, our compassionate team has performed more than 300 orthopedic surgeries and treated close to 5,500 patients in our Emergency Department. We are ready to care for you and your family. As we start our second year of care at SFI, this continues to be our mission – serving those who are vulnerable, bringing hope and healing through compassion and kindness, and making known God’s healing presence as we provide high-quality care to all who need it.

On this #FourthOfJuly, we celebrate the freedom that allows us to thrive, and we honor the men and women who have given their lives for that freedom. We hope today is one for connecting with family, friends and community. And to all those who are serving their communities today - including many of our caregivers - we offer our sincere gratitude. #HappyIndependenceDay #Hellohumankindness

"Humankindness might be a new term, but it's not something that's new to us. Humankindness is just an everyday thing that happens here, and it is contagious because I practice and see it every day." Thank you, Fernando! #Hellohumankindness

Congratulations to Penrose Hospital in Colorado Springs, St. Anthony North Hospital in Westminster, and St. Anthony Summit Hospital in Frisco for earning an “A” grade on the 2024-25 Lown Institute Hospitals Index. The independent ranking system measures 3,500 hospitals across the nation on metrics of health equity, patient outcomes, and value of care. “Great care is only great if everyone can access it,” said Vikas Saini, MD, president of the Lown Institute. “We need hospitals that are not only leaders in clinical care, but also strong community partners — and these socially responsible hospitals are showing the way."

We are pleased to announce Deb Mohesky, MBA, MS, ACPEC, BCC, FACHE, as our Chief Executive Officer of Longmont United Hospital! Deb has served as Longmont United's interim CEO since October 2023 and in that time has proven herself to be a strategy-driven, innovative, and engaged leader for our employees as well as the entire Longmont community. Deb is a longtime leader within CommonSpirit Health and has held numerous executive positions within the ministry across the country. Most recently, she served as Vice President of Operational Finance before ultimately taking on the role of Market President/CEO at St. Alexius Health in Bismarck, North Dakota.

We are blessed to have Deb and her expertise in the Mountain Region, and we look forward to the continued impact she will have within our local communities. Congratulations, Deb!

A spirit of love. A spirit of caring. A spirit to bring relief to those who are in need. Thank you, Fr. Charles. #Hellohumankindness
