About
For over 140 years, St. Mary-Corwin Hospital has been a pioneer in Southern Colorado. In 1882, a two-story boarding house in Pueblo was converted into St. Mary's Hospital by the Sisters of Charity while at the same time, Colorado Fuel & Iron Company established a hospital for its employees and their families under the medical leadership of Dr. Richard Corwin. The company transferred ownership of Corwin Hospital to the sisters in the late 1940s creating St. Mary-Corwin Hospital. Today, the hospital continues its legacy of compassionate, outstanding care with an accredited and nationally recognized cancer center, designated Breast Center of Excellence, state of the art robotic-assisted surgical technology, a dedicated Joint Replacement Center and more.
Known for their evidence-based medicine and a faith-based mission, St. Mary-Corwin’s full wealth of medical services are a short 20 minutes from the heart of Pueblo West.

Professional Nursing contributes to care of patients at SMC Hospital and the surrounding community through the following services:
Cancer care
St. Mary-Corwin's Cancer program has received the following accreditations - Commission on Cancer (CoC), National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), National Quality Measures for Breast Centers (NQMBC), and National Lung Cancer Screening Center of Excellence (LCOE). These accreditations demonstrate that our oncology nurses are nationally certified, providing the highest level of expertise in delivering chemotherapy, radiation, medical, and end-of-life care. Nurse navigators support the patient throughout their cancer journey from diagnosis to survivorship through education, care coordination, support, and facilitation of hospital and community resources. Radiation oncology nurses provide education, evaluation, coordination of care, and assist patients in reducing side effects from radiation treatment. Clinical research nurses provide care and support to patients enrolled in clinical research trials. Nurses facilitate community support groups, integrative therapies, cancer screening, and community events to help patients through their cancer experience.
Emergency and trauma care
The Emergency and Trauma nursing team at St. Mary-Corwin Hospital plays an essential role in providing high-quality patient care. Our nurses integrate evidence-based practices to enhance outcomes for patients affected by stroke, trauma, sepsis, and heart attacks. Emergency and Trauma nurses are committed to pediatric readiness, ensuring that staff are prepared to deliver the highest standard of care to children of all ages who come to our facility for care.
Intensive care
Our nurses care for patients who need critical care, ventilation support, and flotrac monitoring. These ill patients require highly skilled nursing interventions. We believe in a multidisciplinary approach to providing excellent patient care and our nurses treat patients and families holistically. Intensive Care nurses have worked to reduce patient infections and improve patient mobility and comfort, supporting both the patient and their family members. Our nurses work towards a common goal of excellent patient experience and a welcoming work environment.
Orthopedic care
Nurses provide critical contributions to patient care, including pain management, pre- and post-operative care, patient education, and facilitating treatments and recovery. They prepare patients for surgical procedures, monitor physiological parameters after surgery, and assist with rehabilitation and the use of assistive devices.
Outpatient care
Nurses support patients who may not need an inpatient stay but need outpatient care and treatment. Our gastrointestinal lab nurses prepare and care for patients needing procedures like endoscopies or colonoscopies. Nurses specialize in preparing patients for and recovering them safely after gastrointestinal procedures such as endoscopies and colonoscopies. Interventional Radiology nurses support patients through skilled diagnostic procedures to inform their healthcare providers. Nurses specialize in utilizing image guidance, such as X-ray, Ultrasound, and CT Scans to perform minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Nurses assist the Interventional Radiologists to assess the body and address conditions like tumors, blockages, excess fluid collections, chronic pain, and bleeding.
Perioperative care
Perioperative nurses are essential to patient-centered care, collaborating with surgeons, anesthesiologists, surgical technicians, medical representatives, and other support staff throughout the surgical journey. Their critical roles include preparing patients before surgery, providing care during operations, and managing post-operative treatment. Nurses provide patient education, maintain safety for patients and staff, prevent infections, and facilitate communication among the interprofessional team. To ensure they provide the highest level of care, our nurses pursue and achieve professional certifications.
