Estes Valley Voice: There’s never a good time to experience emergency-turned-extended medical services. But when the triage team at a primary facility nearly two hours away demanded I report to the nearest emergency room in 15 minutes or call 911, there was no hesitation.

For the next three-plus days, I was cared for professionally, with compassion, kindness, and healing vibes.
