Colorado Springs is the second most populous city in Colorado with a population near 500,000 people. It is a scenic and picturesque city at the edge of the southern Rocky Mountains and is served by St. Francis Medical Center and Memorial Hospital North.
A medical community in any city has to work together as a team, or a chain. Each unit depends on the next, and when one link breaks, everything falls apart.
On the front lines of healthcare delivery in Colorado Springs are doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals. Other links in the chain are supporting personnel and companies such as pharmacies, emergency responders, medical gases suppliers, and medical waste disposal companies.
Medical waste, also known as bio-hazardous waste may be solid or liquid. Examples of infectious waste include discarded blood, sharps, unwanted microbiological cultures and stocks, identifiable body parts, other human or animal tissue, used bandages and dressings, discarded gloves, other medical supplies that may have been in contact with blood and body fluids.
In the State of Colorado medical waste is regulated by the Department of Public Health & Environment, and the pertinent definitions, rules, and regulations can be found here.
Compliance with regulations pertaining to medical waste is mandatory, and there is no room for misunderstanding or variance. These rules are there to protect the public health and the health and safety of healthcare workers.

Medical Waste Disposal Colorado Springs, CO
The healthcare industry is inundated with paperwork and regulations so we do what we can to reduce that burden. The MedPro invoice is simplified and based on a one-flat-fee plan of service. Our customers are never surprised by “fuel surcharges” or “documentation fees” – just a simple invoice that can be paid electronically or by mail.
We have been told by our customers that the medical community needs an easier way to stay on point with training, safety procedures, and certifications. MedPro responded with the Online Safety Compliance Portal, a secure platform with modules for HIPPA, OSHA, HazCom as well as safety audits, Medical Data Safety Sheets, fire prevention plans, exposure control plans, and more. There is also an ICD 10 conversion tool and access to regulations. It is a wealth of resources and information we created in response to our customer’s needs.
The medical community in Colorado Springs includes specialty physicians and facilities with special needs. As an experienced provider there aren’t too many things we haven’t seen and we are pleased to act as a consultative partner when any customer has a special request. We are always happy to have a conversation about growth issues, re-locating, anything.
The stereotypical idea that doctors spend a lot of time lounging around the country club or playing golf is very untrue. Today’s physician is deluged with problems getting paid, new restrictions, increased paperwork, and a host of other problems. Turning a profit is tough.
We see these realities every day which is why MedPro has committed to remain on the “helping” rather than the “hindering” side of our customers. We go above just doing our job and then waiting for payment. We are part of a team, and if we’re not helping, we’re hindering.
Doing business with MedPro is easy, and it starts with getting a quote. That’s as simple as calling 888-641-6131.
