Mt. San Rafael Hospital is a general hospital in Trinidad, Colorado. Founded in 1889, the hospital is a level IV trauma center. It is notable for being a pioneer in sex-change operations, with the hospital's first of thousands of such surgeries being completed there in 1969. History The hospital was originally established in 1889 by the Sisters of Charity. Renovations and additions were completed in 1906 and 1959.

Hospitals Established In 1889
A hospital is a health care institution providing patient treatment with specialized health science and auxiliary healthcare staff and medical equipment. The best-known type of hospital is the general hospital, which typically has an emergency department to treat urgent health problems ranging from fire and accident victims to a sudden illness. A district hospital typically is the major health care facility in its region, with many beds for intensive care and additional beds for patients who need long-term care.
