Coffey Health System

Being a caregiver for a loved one can be emotionally and physically exhausting. Coffey Health System now offers a special program for caregivers.

When Ed and Alice Archer moved back to rural Coffey County twenty-four years ago, it was a homecoming. Ed had taught for many years in Burlington, Humboldt, and LeRoy. The close-knit environment and community they so enjoyed became even more important when Ed developed Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). He quickly found familiar faces and names throughout Coffey Health System with former students and the children of former students.

Suzanne Garcia, R.N., is Coffey Health System’s new Chief Nursing Officer.

For the second consecutive year, Coffey County Hospital in Burlington is one of the nation’s top 20 critical access hospitals (CAHs) for quality.
