Hospitals near Durango
The federal CMS directory lists these acute-care, critical-access, VA, rural-emergency, and long-term hospitals near Durango. Approximate straight-line distances use Census place reference points or street geocodes; they are not driving or quote mileage:
- Animas Surgical Hospital — in Durango
- Mercy Regional Medical Center — in Durango
- Southwest Memorial Hospital (critical access hospital) — Cortez, CO — approximately 38 miles from Durango by straight-line map distance
- San Juan Regional Medical Center — Farmington, NM — approximately 42 miles from Durango by straight-line map distance
They are public directory listings that describe geography, not affiliations or endorsements. A trip may start or end at any of them, at a rehab or skilled-nursing facility, or at a private residence; the exact room and receiving details are confirmed at the bedside address for the booked trip.
For veterans and their families: a VA medical center near Durango listed in the federal CMS directory is Grand Junction VA Medical Center — Grand Junction, CO, approximately 130 miles from Durango by straight-line map distance. That is a directory listing, not an affiliation; a trip to or from that campus is quoted from the exact bedside address like any other.
When the location is Mercy Hospital, CommonSpirit lists it at 1010 Three Springs Boulevard. Use that full facility name and current address in the request so the hospital is clear.
Long-distance trips involving Durango may start or end at hospitals, rehab centers, skilled nursing facilities, or private residences across Colorado. Statewide Colorado facility references include UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, National Jewish Health, and Denver Health. For an actual trip, use the exact sending and receiving addresses; a listing does not imply affiliation.
Bedside to bedside means the crew comes to the room, not the curb: the passenger moves onto the transport surface, belongings and equipment travel with them, the drive is broken by planned rest stops, families are updated as it progresses, and it ends with a handoff to staff in the destination room.
Statewide airport references include Denver (DEN) and Colorado Springs (COS). If a trip includes separate air travel, provide the exact airport, terminal, and ground endpoints for coordinator review before booking.

Beyond that, the practical answer families want when they are comparing providers: we own the vehicles and run the trips ourselves rather than handing them to an outside carrier, so the crew that collects the passenger is the crew that delivers them.

Non-emergency ground medical transportation for stable patients traveling 180 miles or more. Our trained medical personnel provide bedside-to-bedside service for elderly and disabled individuals.
How much does medical transport from Durango cost?
Cost depends on distance and medical needs. Request a free quote online — the form on this page prices the full route from the two exact addresses. Distance is the largest factor. For example, Las Cruces, NM is approximately 350 miles from Durango by straight-line map distance; the quote prices the driving route between the two exact addresses, not that straight line. If we believe an air or ground ambulance would suit your loved one better, your coordinator will tell you.
How are passenger needs reviewed for Durango?
Describe mobility, prescribed oxygen, equipment, and other travel needs in the quote request. A coordinator determines service fit; a diagnosis alone does not confirm eligibility. If the trip starts or ends at a hospital near Durango, such as Animas Surgical Hospital or Mercy Regional Medical Center, include the unit or room number and a discharge-planning contact in the request.
How do I plan a travel date for Durango?
Share a preferred date with both exact addresses. A coordinator confirms timing and availability before booking; a quote request is not a reservation.
How do I report oxygen needs for Durango?
List previously prescribed oxygen and related equipment. A coordinator confirms whether the requested route can accommodate those needs before booking.
