Colorado hospitals adding $250M in facilities

Banner and UCHealth plan to spend more than a quarter-billion dollars on construction projects in Northern Colorado in the near future


Healthcare competition is nothing new in Northern Colorado. Banner and University of Colorado Health — formerly Poudre Valley Health System — have faced off for years, according to an article on the Coloradoan website.

Banner and UCHealth plan to spend more than a quarter-billion dollars on construction projects in Northern Colorado in the near future.

Banner broke ground last year on what will become a 28-acre medical campus officially called Banner Fort Collins Medical Center. UCHealth opened its new $20 million cancer center in June, and PVH is gearing up for a $102 million renovation that includes an emergency department to replace a facility that today sees many more patients than it was built for.
