OUR LEGACY
Dedicated caretakers of yesterday
Founded by a group of dedicated community members in 1943, the Fort Morgan Community Hospital Association (FMCHA) is dedicated to the improvement of the community's health and care. A Fort Morgan Times editorial written by George Epperson, a Fort Morgan attorney, sparked a community-wide effort that reached fruition nearly ten years after it was anonymously published. The hospital, now known as Colorado Plains Medical Center, opened its doors on February 5, 1952.
The hospital property is still owned by the Fort Morgan Community Hospital Association and is governed by local community leaders who are selected at the annual meeting of the Association. They are assisted by its closely related partner board, the Fort Morgan Community Hospital Foundation, which helps the Association with endowment management and purchase recommendations. The Association continues to renovate and construct new medical facilities and to enhance the operations by purchasing numerous pieces of equipment and furnishings. The Fort Morgan Community Hospital Association is a tax-exempt, 501c3 non-profit community organization and relies on the generosity of our community friends, neighbors, and partners to continue our legacy of top-notch care.
