AdventHealth Littleton is a non-profit hospital campus in Littleton, Colorado, Arapahoe County, United States owned by AdventHealth. In April 2004, the hospital was designated a Level II trauma center by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment[2] and it later was also recognized by the American College of Surgeons in October 2005.[3]

History

[edit]

In April 1989, Littleton Adventist Hospital became the very first hospital in Littleton, Colordao when it opened with 82 beds.[1][4]

In 1996, Littleton Adventist Hospital became part of Centura Health when it was founded by Adventist Health System and Catholic Health Initiatives.[5]

On December 6, 2004, Littleton Adventist Hospital announced that it would expand for $38 million, by adding three stories to its south tower. It would be adding twenty-four intensive care unit beds and thirty-two surgical beds, increasing the hospitals beds to 231. The expansion would be 85,100-square-foot and have shell space for future expansion. Construction began in February 2005.[6][7]

In late 2017, the Colorado Senate required all hospitals to have their chargemaster on its website by January 1, 2018.[8][9][10] Also the United States government required all hospitals to do the same by January 1, 2021.[11] In early August 2022, Littleton Adventist Hospital still had refused to comply with the state and federal laws.[12] To force hospitals to comply with federal law the Colorado House of Representatives and Colorado Senate both passed laws forbidding hospitals from collecting debt by reporting patients to collection agencies.[13][14]

By April 2019, the hospital had one million patients visit the emergency department, it delivered 50,000 babies, and performed 165,000 surgeries.[4]

On February 14, 2023, Centura Health announced that it would split up.[15][16] On August 1, Centura Health officially split up with Littleton Adventist Hospital rebranding to AdventHealth Littleton.[17][18][19]

In early September 2023, construction workers began building a three story, 97,700-square-foot, heart and vascular tower for $100 million.[20][21]

On May 15, 2024, AdventHealth Littleton announced that employees had found thirty-one cremains from miscarriages, they were later buried at a local cemetery.[22][23]
