AdventHealth Castle Rock is expanding its commitment to whole-person care in Douglas County with the groundbreaking of the new AdventHealth ER and Urgent Care Crystal Valley. The 23,622-square-foot facility will serve as a vital extension of AdventHealth Castle Rock, designed to meet the area’s increasing demand for accessible emergency and primary care services.
Construction officially began the week of September 29, marking the start of a project that will bring expanded access to high-quality, compassionate care for residents in the growing Castle Rock community. Located at the corner of Crystal Valley Parkway and Plum Creek Boulevard in Castle Rock, the facility is expected to be completed in fall 2026 and will provide more than 30 new jobs to the community
The first floor will house both urgent care and emergency department services, providing immediate care for patients experiencing a wide range of medical needs. The second floor will feature primary care offices as well as shelled space to accommodate future expansion and additional services as the community grows.
“This groundbreaking represents more than just the start of construction, it’s a continuation of our mission to provide whole-person care close to home,” said Michelle Fuentes, CEO of AdventHealth Castle Rock. “As Castle Rock continues to grow, AdventHealth is proud to meet our community where they are and ensure families have convenient access to the care they need, mind, body, and spirit.”
Once complete, the AdventHealth Crystal Valley Emergency Room will offer residents an expanded network of care options, complementing existing AdventHealth facilities throughout the region.
The project reflects AdventHealth’s ongoing investment in innovative health care solutions and its deep commitment to the well-being of every community it serves.
“Castle Rock is a special place,” Michelle added. “We’re honored to grow alongside this community and continue providing exceptional care to every patient who walks through our doors.”
