PUEBLO — Access to healthcare is in high demand, and a major healthcare provider is expanding on the north side of Pueblo.
Kaiser Permanente broke ground Friday morning on a new facility. The company says it will offer the following:
- more space
- advanced medical technology
- increased access to healthcare
"I'm so excited because I know that we can partner with every community and as a pediatrician, I get to watch kids grow up," said Jeff Krawcek, President and Executive Medical Director at Kaiser Permanente. "Some of my partners are internal medicine positions and family medicine physicians. They get to watch patients and members and really neighbors at the other end of the spectrum as they continue to age so, we really care for our neighbors across all all spectrums of agent and demographics and gender. It's really great."
The new facility will be located right off of Pueblo Boulevard about a mile south of the intersection with Highway 50.
It's expected to open in 2025.
