AdventHealth Castle Rock

Portercare Adventist Health System doing business as AdventHealth Castle Rock[3] is a non-profit hospital campus in Castle Rock, Colorado, United States owned by AdventHealth. The hospital is designated a Level III trauma center by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.[4]

History

In early October 2007, Centura Health purchased 50 acre from Castle Rock Development Company in Castle Rock, Colorado, in the development of The Meadows.[5][6]

In 2010, HuntonBrady Architects was hired to design an emergency department and later in 2013 a hospital[7][8] and GE Johnson Construction Company was hired to build the campus.[9] In August 2010, construction began on a 20000 sqfoot emergency department and a 40000 sqfoot medical office building for $23.6 million.[10][11] On July 26, 2011, construction began on a 212000 sqfoot four-story hospital with 50 beds, Adventist Health System provided $128 million to have it built.[12][13][14] On September 7, the emergency department opened.[15] On August 1, 2013, Castle Rock Adventist Hospital and its medical office building opened.[16][17][18] On April 11, 2016, Angel Paws therapy dogs began visiting patients at the hospital.[19][20]

In late 2017, the Colorado Senate passed a law requiring all hospitals to have their chargemaster on its website by January 1, 2018.[21][22][23] The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services also required all hospitals to do the same by January 1, 2021.[24] In early August 2022, Castle Rock Adventist Hospital still had refused to comply.[25] 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.[26][27]

In 2021, Castle Rock Adventist Hospital had 36 beds added onto its fourth floor.[28][29] On February 14, 2023, Centura Health announced that it would split up.[30][31] On August 1, Centura Health split up with Castle Rock Adventist Hospital rebranding to AdventHealth Castle Rock.[32][33][34]

On June 20, 2024, AdventHealth Castle Rock changed the name of the Palmer Building to the Schrader Building, it did this after a local couple donated $5 million for a cancer center.[35][36] In late January 2025, the Douglas County Commissioners approved a $1 million grant to the AdventHealth Rocky Mountain Foundation, for a Vision RT radiation therapy system at AdventHealth Castle Rock.[37][38][39] On February 23, 2026, the hospital opened its cancer center.[40]

Manna foodservice

When Castle Rock Adventist Hospital opened instead of having a cafeteria, it has a restaurant named Manna Restaurant, a convenience store named Manna Market, and Bedside Manna for the hospital patients.[41][42] In 2015, 75% percent of the business comes only from people who visit the fine dining restaurant. Manna has its own vegetable garden on the hospital's campus.[43][44]
