Miners’ Colfax Medical Center wants to assure our community that we are fully prepared for the planned citywide power outage scheduled by the City of Raton beginning Thursday, March 12 at 6:00 p.m. and expected to last until Friday, March 13 at 6:00 a.m.
Our hospital has a dedicated emergency backup generator capable of powering critical hospital operations for more than seven days on our current fuel supply. This means we will continue to provide essential emergency and patient care services throughout the outage.
Our leadership and clinical teams have been planning for this event and have activated additional preparedness measures to ensure patient safety and continuity of care. These steps include coordinating with local EMS, city, and county partners, establishing an incident command structure during the outage, and preparing backup documentation processes if needed.
While some services may operate at a reduced capacity during the outage, Miners’ Colfax Medical Center will remain open and ready to care for our community.
We appreciate the community’s understanding as the city completes this important infrastructure work.
