Two physicians \u2013 Dr. Amanda Mullen and Dr. Jay Anderson \u2013 played music together after a day of work.<\/p>\n<p>Beside the musos, the Southwest Memorial Hospital Foundation \u2013 the board raising the money \u2013 set up a table to field questions and hand out educational pamphlets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to get creative to raise money,\u201d said Abby Nuetzel, the foundation\u2019s president. \u201cIt\u2019s great to collaborate with WildEdge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The brewery offered the space and donated $1 from every Monkeywrench brew sold to the cause. Fenceline Cider also pitched in, donating $1 from every cider sold at the brewery that night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all want health care here, especially as it gets closer to winter,\u201d Nuetzel said.<\/p>\n<p>She said that as it stands, patients must come to Cortez for all obstetric care, which deals with childbirth and prenatal care.<\/p>\n<p>Prenatal care \u2013 which includes ultrasounds and all things and appointments for mother and baby before birth \u2013 is expected to be in Mancos in January.<\/p>\n<p>About that time, they plan to expand their hours of operation and be open on Fridays as well, Theine said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s some of the many improvements and expansions we\u2019re planning to bring to the Mancos clinic,\u201d Theine said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Efforts hope to expand obstetric care to Mancos in January<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25071,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[28,29],"naviga_topic":[],"class_list":["post-25070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-headlines","tag-newsletter"],"acf":[],"author_name":"dh_admin","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25070","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25070"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25070\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":78786,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25070\/revisions\/78786"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25071"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25070"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25070"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25070"},{"taxonomy":"naviga_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/naviga_topic?post=25070"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
