Twelve-hospital UCHealth has pledged to invest $200 million in the Parkview system, including its Parkview Medical Center and Pueblo West Hospital locations.
Parkview, which is licensed for 350 beds, employs about 3,000 people and caters to a number of lower-income patients.
“As our community knows, we serve a very large number of patients who are either uninsured or who are covered by Colorado Medicaid,” Darrin Smith, Parkview president and CEO, said in a statement. “This has strained our finances and risked the sustainability of some of our services. Joining UCHealth will help ensure that our patients in Pueblo and southern Colorado continue to have access to excellent health care.”
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
