Emergency Services - Lafayette
Thanks to our community's compliance with public health and safety
recommendations, we were able to reopen the Emergency Department at Community
Medical Center (CMC) in Lafayette on Tuesday, June 23.
BCH temporarily closed the Emergency Department at CMC in late March to
centralize emergency medicine resources at Foothills Hospital in Boulder,
which at the time was seeing the majority of people experiencing respiratory
illnesses, including COVID-19. Now that the number of COVID-19 patients
being treated at Foothills Hospital has been steadily declining, BCH moved
staff back to CMC and reopened its Emergency Department.
Patients can once again visit the Emergency Department at CMC for the same
range of medical services that were available prior to its temporary closure.
