UCHealth opens rehabilitation unit in Fort Collins

FORT COLLINS — UCHealth Poudre Valley Hospital on Tuesday opened a 14-bed rehabilitation unit to help people who have experienced major injury or illness to regain the skills necessary for everyday life.

The rehab unit is on the third floor of the hospital in Fort Collins. Staff and providers will care for patients with disabilities resulting from stroke, neurological disorders, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputation, multiple injuries due to trauma and complex orthopedic conditions.

The rehab unit features private patient rooms, ceiling-mounted patient lifts, rehabilitation gym, residential-style kitchen, bathroom and laundry, and therapy rooms and equipment.

Business Cares: March 2024

WomenGive, a program of United Way of Larimer County, was started in Larimer County in 2006 as an opportunity for women in our community to come together to help other women.

The rehab unit had been housed on the fifth floor of UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland. MCR frequently is operating near capacity. Moving the unit to its new home at PVH will enable the MCR team to care for more acute medical and surgical patients. The former rehabilitation space at MCR will be renovated and is expected to be ready for patients later this summer.
