Pueblo is a great place to live with year round sunshine, mild climate and affordable housing. The hospital and medical staff are family medicine friendly. The residency program is the only residency in the community and has been in existence since 1975. The residency has a very diverse and stable faculty. We continue to teach full spectrum family medicine and a large number of our graduates stay in the area.
