Joshua Hogins, D.O., F.A.P.A., a board-certified psychiatrist, has joined the medical sta
ff at Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center. He will provide general psychiatric care for adults, children and adolescents beginning June 12.
Before joining HRRMC, Dr. Hogins served as a senior instructor for the University of Colorado Anschutz School of Medicine and staff psychiatrist at the Colorado Mental Health Institute in Pueblo.

“Dr. Hogins is a very important addition to our medical staff,” said hospital CEO Bob Morasko. “We have a great need for a local mental health practitioner who can care for our patients and make referrals for them when needed. Dr. Hogins will be able to serve our community locally and reduce the need for patients to travel for mental health services.”
After earning his osteopathic medical degree from Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences in Kansas City, Missouri, Dr. Hogins completed his psychiatry internship, residency and fellowship at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
