EVANS ARMY COMMUNITY HOSPITAL

The Commander and Staff at Evans Army Community Hospital would like to welcome you and your family to the premier hospital, civilian or Military, in the Pikes Peak area. On a recent survey conducted by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), Evans Army Community Hospital received a rating that was higher than any medical facility in the Pikes Peak area. JCAHO is an independent civilian quality assessment organization that evaluates military and civilian healthcare organizations on such elements as patient safety, process improvement, environment of care, and patient satisfaction. In January 2003, Evans was also recognized by the National Research Corporation/Picker Institute as the Army’s Benchmark Hospital for the Respect for Patient Preference Dimension of Care. This recognition is a sign that our patients believe that we have respect for their values, preferences, and expressed needs. This organization surveyed 11 Health Systems, 122 Hospitals, 39,860 individual patient survey responses. Evans Army Community Hospital was one of two Army Hospitals recognized by this institute. Please give us the opportunity to provide you and your family with the best care in the Pikes Peak Area by enrolling in TRICARE Prime here at our hospital. Family member enrollments may be accomplished by visiting our TRICARE Service Center on the first floor of Evans Army Community Hospital. Failure to enroll family members in TRICARE Prime may severely limit their access to care. TRICARE Standard patients are seen only on a space available basis. There is very limited access to care for this category of patient. TRICARE Prime provides you the best means to get guaranteed access to healthcare at Evans Army Community Hospital.

CARE WITH HONOR

The five-story main hospital has a 78-bed capacity. The two-story clinic building contains 400 examination and treatment rooms. A common area connects the clinic building and the main hospital. This area includes the main entrance, medical library, chapel and pharmacy. The Evans complex offers more than a modern look; inside, the most modern state-of-the-art medical equipment and services are available.
