In September 2001, Centura Health purchased 40 acres for $12 million by E-470 and Colorado State Highway 83 for a new hospital. [4] [5] [6]
Centura Health hired HKS, Inc. to design the hospital; [4] and GE Johnson Construction Company from Colorado Springs, Colorado and Kitchell Construction from Phoenix, Arizona to build it. [7]
Construction for Parker Adventist Hospital began in the summer of 2002. [6] On March 5, 2003, there was a topping out of Parker Adventist Hospital. [8]
On February 3, 2004, Parker Adventist Hospital opened with 58 beds, the 210,000-square-foot hospital was built for $108 million. It also included an attached 80,000-square-foot medical office building. [9] It became the second hospital in Douglas County, the first was Sky Ridge Medical Center. [10] [11]
In February 2005, the hospital began expanding onto the second floor that was shelled space for $7.5 million. It will have one operating theatre, thirty-five beds and a unit named the Chest Pain Center. [12] In late November, the second floor at the hospital opened. [13] In January 2009, GE Johnson Construction Company began a two phase expansion and renovation project at Parker Adventist Hospital for $76 million, to increasing the size of the hospital from 210,000-square-foot to 340,000-square-foot. [14] [15] [16] The first phase would be adding five operating theatres, ten birth rooms; and more space for a post-anesthesia care unit, pre-operation area and sterile processing department. [14] [16] The second phase would be adding a three-story inpatient tower with sixty beds, an intensive care unit, a sleep center and more parking. The expansion was to be finished in 2011, increasing the number of beds for the hospital from 100 to 160. [14] [15] [16]
2017-present
In late 2017, the Colorado Senate passed a law requiring all hospitals to have their chargemaster on its website by January 1, 2018. [17] [18] [19] The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services also required all hospitals to do the same by January 1, 2021. [20] In early August 2022, Parker Adventist Hospital still had refused to comply. [21] To force hospitals to comply the Colorado House of Representatives and Colorado Senate both passed laws forbidding hospitals from collecting debt by reporting patients to collection agencies. [22] [23]
In late January 2020, Vertix Builders began construction of a four-story, 86,000-square-foot medical office building. [24] [25] In late May 2021, the Peak Medical Office Building was completed for $25 million. [26] On February 14, 2023, Centura Health announced that it would split up. [27] [28] On August 1, Centura Health split up with Parker Adventist Hospital rebranding to AdventHealth Parker. [29] [30] [31] By early February 2024, the hospital had 530,000 patients visit the emergency department, it delivered 32,000 babies, and performed 125,000 surgeries. [2]
On January 7, 2025, there was a groundbreaking for a 186,000-square-foot seven story tower on the hospitals southside for $300 million. [1] [32] [33] AdventHealth Parker had hired Boulder Associates and SmithGroup to design the tower; and DPR Construction to build it. [3] In February, construction was to begin on the tower. [34] [35] It will have four operating theatres, with two shelled rooms, sixteen pre-and post-operative rooms, sixty hospital beds, two cardiac catheterization labs, two interventional radiology labs and a sterile processing department. [32] [33] [36] The fifth, sixth and seventh floors will be shelled space and will later become patient floors. [32] [34] [36] Once the tower is complete at AdventHealth Parker it will be adding 100 jobs to the 1,100 that it already has. [33] [36]
In early February 2025, nurses at the hospital received training to recognize and support victims of human trafficking, from the Castle Rock, Colorado non-profit organization From Silenced to Saved. [37] [38]
