Imaging & Radiology at CommonSpirit Mercy Hospital

Founded in 1882 by the Sisters of Mercy, CommonSpirit Mercy Hospital stands as Southwest Colorado’s largest acute-care facility in Durango. The 82-bed hospital operates as a Level III trauma center and holds the distinction of being the only regional hospital to receive a five-star rating from Medicare for overall quality. Its Imaging & Radiology department supports this comprehensive care with state-of-the-art technology, including a 64-slice computed tomography scanner and breast MRI. These tools enable specialized treatment in orthopedic, spine surgery, cardiology, and cancer care. The facility maintains Leapfrog ‘A’ ratings for patient safety biannually since Spring 2023, reflecting a strong focus on preventing medical errors. Patients benefit from a healing environment that features a garden, labyrinth, chapel, and curated artwork, alongside nutritious meals prepared by an executive chef. The hospital’s TLC program and volunteer network further support the patient experience, ensuring compassionate care from admission through recovery.
