AdventHealth Parker Breaks Ground on Major Expansion

AdventHealth Parker unveiled a $300 million expansion project today. Currently a 179-bed hospital, AdventHealth Parker has served the southeast Denver metro area and beyond for nearly 21 years.

The new 186,000 square foot tower will include:

• Four operating rooms (and two additional rooms that will be shelled for future use)
• 16 pre- and post-operative rooms
• 60 new medical/surgical beds
• Two cardiac catheterization labs
• Two interventional radiology labs
• A new sterile processing department
• The 5^th, 6^th, and 7^th floors will be shelled as future patient bed floors

Construction is expected to begin in February 2025, with plans to care for the first patient by February 2027.

According to statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau, the population of Parker has grown by 72% since AdventHealth Parker first opened in 2004 and is expected to grow another 8% by the time the tower opens in 2027.

“We are grateful for the opportunity to support our community by providing outstanding and accessible care, close to home,” said AdventHealth Parker CEO, Michael Goebel. “This strategic investment will not only elevate our services but ensure we are meeting the healthcare needs of our patients for years to come.”

AdventHealth Parker is currently the town’s largest employer, with more than 1,100 employees. When the tower opens, it is expected to create at least 100 additional jobs.

“Our goal within AdventHealth is to be a preeminent healthcare system known for whole-person care,” said AdventHealth Rocky Mountain Region CEO, Brett Spenst. “With this aspiration guiding us, it is our sacred duty to expand our services and continue to grow so that more people can achieve wholeness in mind, body, and spirit.”

This significant investment will enable AdventHealth Parker to deepen its commitment to the healing ministry of Christ, ensuring that we continue to serve our communities and beyond.
