Explore Cortez, CO

Healthcare across Colorado's far southwest corner runs through Cortez, CO, where the local hospital serves ranchland, canyon country, and the Ute Mountain Ute community at Towaoc. Travel RNs here work wide-ranging rural caseloads, typically across emergency and inpatient units, with patients driving in from Dolores, Lewis, and Pleasant View. Housing concentrates along the two regional highways that meet in town, keeping most commutes under ten minutes. Mesa Verde National Park rises just east of town, close enough for repeat visits across a contract, and the Canyons of the Ancients spread west with nearly empty trails. The Trail of the Ancients byway and the Cortez Cultural Center fill out the slower weekends across a contract in canyon country.
