Aurora, Colo.-based UCHealth has opened a new hospital in Broomfield, Colo., boasting 18 private inpatient rooms and a four-bed intensive care unit, designed to improve access to emergency medical care.
The Joint Commission-certified hospital is designed to provide care in a smaller, personal, convenient environment, "similar to a nice hotel," said Derek Rushing, UCHealth Broomfield Hospital's president and CEO. "Our warm, community atmosphere, combined with the highest quality and most advanced medical care, will help ensure our patients receive the very best medical outcomes and are able to go home as soon as possible," he said.
In addition to a 24/7 emergency department and an outpatient surgical center, the hospital also features free WiFi and a play area for children.
The hospital is operated through a partnership with Adeptus Health, a Lewisville, Texas-based freestanding emergency room operator.
UCHealth added roughly 100 new jobs with the opening of this hospital.
