As part of a pre-approved, 40-year plan, the Banner Fort Collins Medical Center campus is designed to eventually
accommodate up to 144 patient beds, two additional patient towers, a parking structure and medical office
building.
“After thousands of hours of planning and dedication from countless individuals, it is a privilege to open our doors in Fort Collins,” said Rick Sutton, chief executive officer of Banner Health in Northern Colorado. “Our commitment is to offer premier facilities and services close to where people live, and with Banner Fort Collins Medical Center, we can provide additional award-winning health care options for residents here and in the surrounding community.”
The hospital will be the first in Northern Colorado equipped with TeleAcute Care, a remote monitoring technology that allows expert, off-site nurses to observe real-time vital signs and test results for every patient admitted to the hospital, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This round-the-clock care benefits patients by providing a second layer of support to the hospital nurses and physicians working at the bedside to ensure that potential adverse trends are identified and promptly addressed.
TeleAcute Care is part of an expansive telemedicine program to be offered at Banner Fort Collins Medical Center which includes TeleICU, a remote monitoring for intensive care patients by critical care physicians and expert nurses, and TeleStroke, a partnership with Swedish Medical Center in Denver. TeleStroke provides patients and physicians immediate access to board-certified neurologists affiliated with Swedish who are experts in stroke care. Both TeleICU and TeleStroke are in place at Banner Health’s two other Northern Colorado hospitals: North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley and McKee Medical Center in Loveland.
