UCHealth is moving mountains and plains to keep pace with Colorado’s prodigious population growth while further securing its standing as one of the state’s preeminent providers of health care.
Continuing its growth spurt along Colorado’s Front Range through the purchase or expansion of several existing facilities, the Aurora, Colo.-based nonprofit health care system (selected earlier this year as ENR Mountain States Colorado Owner of the Year for 2018) has embarked on new construction in some of the area’s fastest-growing communities. That includes Highlands Ranch, just south of Denver, where it will open a 357,430-sq-ft community hospital and adjoining 84,550-sq-ft medical office building, including a cancer center, early next year.
