Columbine Health – Where Healthcare is Personal
Columbine Health Systems has supported families in Northern Colorado for 48 years. They opened their doors in 1971, and have grown dramatically to meet and exceed the needs of our communities. Being part of Northern Colorado’s growth has allowed them to treat generation after generation of local families, building friendships and trust with each throughout the years. To Columbine, it is more than just healthcare. It has become a partnership, and more importantly, it has become personal.
With 24 businesses in Northern Colorado, Columbine offers Independent Living, Assisted Living, Home Care, Rehabilitation, Nursing, and a medical equipment retail store. They have expanded throughout Fort Collins and into Loveland and Windsor.
A people-focused company, Columbine creates a sense of community in everything that they do. They have become a heartfelt contributor to Northern Colorado by revamping what healthcare looks like, creating a model of relationship based healthcare. They focus on empowering and bettering their patients from all walks of life and emphasizing personal connectedness both with patients and with the community.
Columbine is a trusted partner of families having to make difficult choices about senior care, and because they are locally owned, members of the community can count on Columbine for a hands-on approach to finding the right care solutions for their loved ones.
“We like to remind people that it’s all about the personal care. It’s very clear what the level of care is functionally and socially. Socially is just as important,” said Yvonne Myers, Columbine’s Health Systems Director. “Are they thriving? Making sure someone is mentally taken care of is just as important as physical.”
In an industry that is dominated by large, national companies, Columbine stands apart as a locally owned business that has redefined the standard of care in our community. By emphasizing personal connections and building a model of relationship based healthcare, Columbine is a true community partner.
