Grand junction community, please BE CAREFUL when you seek medical attention. Ask questions. Stay with your loved one. Be persistent when needed. There has been a sickening amount of major medical errors at St. Mary recently, including several that resulted in patient death. Not sure what has changed recently but something has definitely changed!

This is 100% Intermountain Health, St. Mary is at critical staffing levels and IMH refuses to hire more staff or pay their current staff better. We’ve lost 10% of our nurses since December when we took a massive pay cut on top of already shitty condition. They have brought in travelers because we are in crisis instead of paying us a living wage.

I have no insurance and have a suspected sinus infection and ear infection I want to get checked.

I would preferably would want to keep costs below $200 but mainly just want to avoid surprise charges.

Hey all. Was driving back from rifle today, and they had us detour off the interstate at Parachute, and we drove the side road all the way to Debeque.

We saw the aftermath of what happened. Looked like a semi flipped, the cab was crushed like an aluminum can. The entire trailer was ripped open. Looked like a crazy accident. I'm assuming the driver was a fatality.

Just wondering if anyone had any additional info on what happened? It was a scary looking scene.

Has anyone been up to the Grand Mesa recently? What are the conditions like on the trails? Still a good amount of snow?

I have a week to tool around Colorado from Denver to Grand Junction. Anyone have advice for the best spots to stop? Oddest roadside attraction? Best diner burrito? Best dive bar? I'm open to any advice on what to check out.

Howdy folks,

I will be visiting family in the area and would like to know any food spots in the Grand Junction area recommended by people the grand junction sub. I’ve already identified a sprouts market, Jersey Mike’s, and a planet fitness. Are there any places to avoid?

Being around my family can get taxing. so, I figure I’ll be able to keep my 2 a-day workouts. The challenge is my family like most families, plans everything around food. Mainly battered and fried food.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello!

I am an OT currently working with chronic illness/chronic pain in an outpatient specialty clinic, but happy working in all settings. I grew up on the front range and currently live on the east coast. I am looking to relocate in the next year to Grand Junction to be closer to my family out there at least for a bit. I will be supporting myself and my dog on my salary alone. Can anyone give me honest input on the hospitals out there as employers (and also patients as I know it is likely that my providers will be tied to the network I work for)? Income is important to me since I do have to support myself, but a healthy work environment is as well.

Is there a place in Grand Junction to buy fresh-made fruit/vegetable juice, or even freshly-bottled? Bonus points for organic. Google Maps is not being helpful. I'm visiting soon and don't particularly want to bring my juicer, but juicing really helps with some health issues I have. Thanks for any guidance.

Going to be passing through - are there any parks with prairie dog colonies? Not local and would love for my baby to observe them!

I’m looking into radiology and I wanted to see if anyone could describe their experience with the radiology program. is it a bachelors or associates for radiology tech?? and how is the community there?

The BLM website says May 1 is the typical opening date, but Google Maps seems to think it is still closed. I am planning a trip at the end of the month and am wondering if I should expect to be able to take the road from 65 to the overlook. Thank you for your help.

On Saturday, I received my property value notice from the county assessor office. If you have received one, you know that its printed on two sides, folded and taped. One side of the notice (name and address at one side of the fold; and the summary and appeal form on the other side of the fold) is correct for my property. The other side of the notice which contains the details for the assessment (hidden until you open the tape), was for another property about 5 miles away totally unrelated in any way to me.

BTW, the assessed value on my property seems correct, and looking up my account on the assessors website ties back to what I received (on half of my notice, anyways).

Of course, I'm a little puzzled.... Planning to go to the assessor office tomorrow (tues) to ask about it, but thought I would post here to see if anyone else had the same thing happen....

Hey Guys! I’m from out of town, but get out to junction every so often but I’m in search of a Flower Shop that delivers, and I’m not quite sure where to start so I decided to come here and see if anyone had any recommendations for a flower shop in town that delivers by any chance, TIA for any help!

I've lived in this part of the state for only a couple of years. But the Yawpers were a solid part of my front range music experience for like a decade. They took a break a couple years ago and just announced a new tour. Now that I live on the western slope I AM STOKEDDDD to see they're going to have a show at Big B’s and also in Ridgeway at the end of May. They're so freeeaaaking good and Nate's voice is unbelievable! Just have to put it out there that I highly recommend making it to their show
