Concho Valley ER Holds Grand Opening

Concho Valley ER, a locally-owned free-standing medical emergency room held their official grand opening Saturday. A small crowd gathered to try their luck at winning Aaron Watson tickets or a trip to Schlitterbahn. 

The center served barbecue sandwiches, snow cones, and gave away 300 T-shirts.

“We want to educate the public on what we are,” said Concho Valley ER spokeswoman Sarah Denson. “We’re not urgent care, we’re not a clinic. We are a free-standing emergency room.”

Concho Valley ER has their own x-ray and CT scan capabilities on site. “We can do anything a traditional emergency room can do,” Denson said.
