Platte Valley Hospital (PVH) became the first private general medical-surgical hospital in Adams and Southern Weld Counties in 1960. For 47 years, Platte Valley was located on seven acres at 18th and Bridge Street in Brighton. In 2007, Platte Valley moved to a 50-acre campus at I-76 and 144th Avenue. Today, Platte Valley is a 98-bed community hospital and Level III Trauma Center. Platte Valley's 10 Pillars of Healing are incorporated into every patient experience. They include integrative therapies, human interactions, support networks, healing design, education and information, healthy and delicious meals, healing art therapy, spirituality, healing touch, and healthy communities to help patients recover. Also a nationally ranked top performing hospital, Platte Valley offers high-level services —including a Primary Stroke Center, an Accredited Chest Pain Center and advanced cardiovascular program, a Level II Special Care Nursery, and innovative surgical, orthopedic and women’s services — found in many larger metropolitan hospitals.
