With the opening of Pavilion 2, UCHealth Highlands Ranch Hospital is growing not only in size, but in its ability to care for a community that continues to grow, change and demand convenient, high-quality care. “At UCHealth, our mission is to improve lives, and that means making it easier for patients to get the right care at the right time,” Chris Bianca, vice president of operations at UCHealth Highlands Ranch Hospital, said in a statement. Since UCHealth Highlands Ranch Hospital opened its doors in 2019, it has operated at near capacity most of its days and has continued to look for ways to expand its footprint. As previously reported by Colorado Community Media, Merle Taylor, president of diversified services and metro Denver community hospitals, said the hospital quickly exceeded its projected expectations. When the Highlands Ranch hospital opened, Merle said its 10-year projections were informed by population growth and by the number of Highlands Ranch residents traveling to other UCHealth locations for care. “We reached many of those expectations within our first three years, which tells us there is strong patient demand for healthcare options in this community,” Merle said in a statement. With the need for more inpatient capacity, the hospital knew it needed to shift the outpatient capacity to another part of the campus. To better serve both inpatient and outpatient needs at the Highlands Ranch location, UCHealth broke ground on two projects in 2023. One was a new hospital tower. Expected to open later this fall, the tower will expand the emergency department, add 70 beds and create shelled space for future growth. The other project was the implementation of Pavilion 2, which opened in late August. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2N6Br7_1Enm9cnZ00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2N6Br7_1Enm9cnZ00" width="1763" height="1175" ><figcaption>UCHealth representatives and physicians celebrate the opening of Pavilion 2 in Highlands Ranch.&nbsp; Courtesy of UCHealth</figcaption></figure>In an effort to bring greater access to advanced treatments closer to patients, the new 130,000 square-foot medical center houses the latest technology, advanced care and treatment. Services include imaging, a surgical center for outpatient procedures, a gastroenterology clinic, and an internal medicine clinic. The pavilion’s Heart and Vascular clinic provides care for advanced heart failure and cardiomyopathies as well as general, interventional, preventative and sports cardiology. Its services include cardiac electrophysiology, echocardiograms, heart monitors, stress testing, cardiac scanning and cardiac rehabilitation.Cardiac rehabilitation is a multi-week outpatient program that assists those who have experienced cardiac events to achieve an optimal level of health through exercise and education, according to UCHealth. The pavilion also offers outpatient physical therapy and rehabilitation. Conditions and treatments include physical therapy for general orthopedic, sports medicine and post-operative conditions; pelvic health physical therapy; oncology rehab; speech therapy; and neuro rehab for vestibular conditions, balance, concussion and neurological disorders. While there is a list of services already available, patients can look forward to the coming months as dermatology, executive health, infusion, outpatient laboratory services, pre-procedure services and pulmonary function testing will also open. Located at 9051 SSG Chris Falkel Drive, Pavilion 2 is situated next door to the Highlands Ranch Hospital. According to UCHealth, Colorado’s largest Medicaid provider, the expansion is part of UCHealth’s continued investment in Highlands Ranch and the broader south metro Denver region. For many patients, this expansion means staying in the community and having fewer trips to the Anschutz Medical Center. “As Douglas County grows, Pavilion 2 helps us bring more services to this community so patients can stay closer to home while receiving the high-quality, specialized care they expect from UCHealth,” Bianca said. </div></body>
