HERE ARE A FEW HIGHLIGHTS: PROVIDING EXCELLENT CARE Stroke accreditation.

It also is a Primary Stroke Center, a designation recognizing its capability to care for the most critically ill stroke patients. Cardiac care. The hospital received the Silver Performance Achievement Award in 2016, signifying it had reached an aggressive goal in treating heart patients according to care standards outlined by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association clinical guidelines and recommendations. Advanced surgical capabilities. Castle Rock Adventist Hospital became the first hospital in Colorado to add the BrightMatter™ robotic digital microscope in 2017, making surgery safer and more efficient while expanding research capabilities.
SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY Ambassadors of Compassion. For the past two years, the hospital has provided resiliency training through the Ambassadors of Compassion program for all seventh-grade students in Castle Rock. Feeding the community. Since opening, Manna Restaurant has become one of the top-rated restaurants in the area. It also has evolved into a local gathering place, and is a big part of how the hospital stays connected to the community. Creating jobs. With its population more than tripling since the year 2000, the city of Castle Rock knew it needed a hospital to provide high-quality and convenient care. Castle Rock Adventist Hospital has met and exceeded this need, creating more than 500 new jobs and becoming the city’s largest employer along the way. “We’re proud to have played a role in not just providing great care but in helping the community live healthier, better lives,” Pittman says.
