Update: Only XS left.

FREE SCRUBS. GOOD HOME WANTED.

We recently traded our gray scrubs for black, which means we now have a whole lot of perfectly usable gray scrubs looking for their next chapter.

Before we even think about sending them to the landfill, we’d love to find someone who can put them to good use.

Maybe you’re a healthcare worker, student, caregiver, veterinary team, nonprofit, theater group, art program, or someone with a creative idea we haven’t thought of.

They’re free. You just need to want them.

Interested in some or all? Send us a message and let’s keep these scrubs out of the landfill. ♻️

Please feel free to share with someone who might be able to use them.

Another busy week in the books.

Lots happening inside, outside and apparently on top of Animas these days.

Not a bad view to end the week.

Happy Friday, Durango! 📸 Ronnie Higuera

Big things are taking shape behind the scenes.

Construction on our new MRI suite is moving right along as we prepare to bring advanced MRI technology to the Four Corners this fall.

There’s still plenty of work happening behind those walls, but every step gets us closer.

Coming Fall 2026.

Every patient experiences healthcare differently.

Maybe it’s a process that could have been easier to understand. A small detail that made you feel especially cared for. Or an idea you’ve had that could make the experience better for the next patient.

Those perspectives matter.

That’s why we’re building our Patient & Family Advisory Council (PFAC), a place for patients, families and community members to share what they see, what they need and what we can do better.

We’d love to have you be part of the conversation.

☕ Join us for a complimentary breakfast and coffee on Wednesday, August 26, from 9–10 a.m. at Animas Surgical Hospital.

A pretty great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. ☀️🏞️🧺

Our Animas team and their families gathered this weekend for our Summer Picnic. Good food, ice cream, co****le, kids in the river and plenty of time to simply hang out together outside of work.

Thanks to everyone who joined us and made the afternoon such a fun one!
