Kit Carson Health District Launches New Brand

In an effort to highlight its identity as a regional healthcare provider, the Kit Carson County Health Service District (KCCHSD) in Burlington, CO has updated its corporate image and replaced its logo. Over the last several months, a logo taskforce met to
discuss appropriate symbols for their facilities and services, and settled upon wheat as an important image and green and gold as the corporate colors. The committee narrowed the options to three, and gave all KCCHSD employees the opportunity to vote for the winner. “We chose a logo that voices pride in our Kit Carson County communities and connects us to the people we serve,” said Joe Stratton, KCCHSD CEO. “Our programs should benefit greatly from a strong, consistent corporate identity.”
