The urgent care opened Dec. 17, joining forces with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Charles Hanson.
“We are two separate entities, but we are sharing space and sharing use of the X-ray equipment at that location. And if we need to make an ortho referral, we know who to send our patients to,” said Pebbles Spinuzzi of the Southern Colorado Clinic.
Spinuzzi said the Southern Colorado Clinic in Pueblo “started to see patients trending from Pueblo West, so we decided to open a new clinic there to better serve that area.”
The need in Pueblo West is especially great due to the coronavirus pandemic, so the clinic offers both flu and COVID-19 testing.
