But the decade also gave rise to something else on Sept. 8, 1970: the opening of Cuero Community Hospital, which would later become Cuero Regional Hospital (CRH). Long before then, civic leaders and physicians led an effort to build a new hospital for the community. Two older hospitals, Cuero Hospital Foundation and Burns Hospital, were consolidated, paving the way for Cuero Community Hospital. “There is a long legacy of health care in Cuero,” says Lynn Falcone, CEO of Cuero Health.
