Numerous colonoscopy and upper endoscopy screenings have been performed monthly, typically the first Wednesday of each month, for 16 consecutive years!  Our newly constructed and re-branded Surgical Services Department comprises several critical units: our Operating Room, Endoscopy Room, Pre-Op/PACU (Post- Anesthesia Care Unit), and the Sterile Processing Department (SPD).

Our team works diligently to ensure patients are comfortable and at ease when facing a procedure that could be life-saving, while understaning the procedure isn’t necessarily something they look forward to. Over the years, many cancerous tumors and pre-cancerous polyps have been identified. Studies show that treatment is most successful with early identification and lives have indeed been saved through the colonoscopy/upper endoscopy screenings done at Rangely District Hospital.

The Surgical Services team at Rangely District Hospital takes pride in the professionalism and compassion shown to all our patients. As members of this community, our goal is to make an uncomfortable situation as comfortable and safe as possible.
