CommonSpirit St. Elizabeth Hospital has announced the opening of its new chapel, a dedicated space intended to offer reflection and spiritual support to the Fort Morgan community. The facility is located across from the hospital gift shop.
A blessing ceremony was held on Wednesday, April 29, featuring Bishop Jorge Rodriguez alongside hospital and community leadership.
The chapel is accessible whenever the lobby front doors are open. During after hours and weekends, access can be provided by security or the house supervisor for staff, patients, and families.
Mass is scheduled to take place on the last Tuesday of every month at 12:05 p.m.
Andrew Gaasch, CommonSpirit Mountain Region President, noted that the hospital has provided healthcare access to Fort Morgan since 1952. He described the chapel as a vital extension of the hospital's mission and a place for prayer and hope.
John Swanhorst, President and Chief Nursing Officer of St. Elizabeth Hospital, stated that the new space serves as a reaffirmation of the hospital's dedication to holistic care for both body and spirit. Hospital leaders expressed gratitude to those who attended the ceremony and shared their hope that the chapel will serve as a source of peace for the community.
