FORT COLLINS, Colo. (Feb. 2, 2017)<\/strong> \u2013 As crews are putting the finishing touches on the expansion project at Poudre Valley Hospital<\/a>, the staff inside is getting ready for the new wing\u2019s big debut.<\/p>\n

\"ER
Emergency physician Jamie Teumer gives stitches to a tiny teddy bear as Johann Doetsch watches at the 2015 Teddy Bear Hospital at the UCHealth Emergency Room on Harmony Road in Fort Collins. More than 450 children brought in their stuffed animals and dolls to be cared for by UCHealth emergency staff during the event.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The three-story, 185,000-square-foot expansion, which is set to open at the end of February, features an expanded emergency department, a state-of-the-art laboratory, an orthopedics unit, a retail pharmacy and a rooftop helipad.<\/p>\n

At two events on Feb. 11, the community will get a chance to look inside the new space and learn more about the services that will be offered there.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project has been many years in the making. I am excited for the community to see what\u2019s inside and learn more about how this facility is going to improve the care we are able to provide as well as the patient experience,\u201d said Kevin Unger, the hospital\u2019s president and CEO.<\/p>\n

The morning will kick off with the Teddy Bear Hospital event, which will be held from 9 a.m. until noon. The Community Open House will be held from 1-3 p.m.<\/p>\n

At Teddy Bear Hospital, kids will get a little TLC for their favorite stuffed animals or dolls. Parents and children alike will be able to learn about being healthy, staying safe and preventing injuries as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmergency Room visits can be very scary for children and their families since many don\u2019t know what to expect,\u201d said Kerry Borrego, UCHealth\u2019s trauma program outreach coordinator. \u201cThis is a great opportunity to bring children through the ER and simulate what a visit might be like for the child \u2013 but their stuffed animal is the patient instead.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the Teddy Bear Hospital event, UCHealth ER staff will bandage, suture and even X-ray the \u201cpatient\u201d based on its injuries or illnesses reported to them by the child.<\/p>\n

\u201cParticipating in this fun event can help decrease the anxiety and fear a child might have should they need to come to the ER as a patient themselves in the future,\u201d Borrego said.<\/p>\n

Emergency Physicians of the Rockies is giving mini teddy bears away to the first 250 young guests. There also will be different community programs hosting information and fun events, and an ambulance will be on site for the children to tour.<\/p>\n

The Community Open House event is geared for the general public and will include an expanded tour of the whole facility.<\/p>\n

Much of the space on the first floor is dedicated to the new emergency department, which is significantly larger: 55,543 square feet compared to the current 16,820 square feet. The new space can accommodate up to 64 beds compared to 28 in the current ER. The current space was built to treat 25,000 patients per year, but in 2016, approximately 53,000 patients were cared for there. The new space anticipates future growth of the community and can care for up to 100,000 patients annually.<\/p>\n

On the lower level is a new laboratory, which was designed to be more efficient and able to handle higher volumes through automated lines for both the microbiology and chemistry areas. It features state-of-the-art equipment that will bring expanded services to northern Colorado and a dedicated Biosafety Level Three laboratory space that is capable of handling highly infectious bacteria \u2013 like tuberculosis.<\/p>\n

On the second level, the new orthopedic unit has large rooms with natural light and a rehabilitation gym that gives patients an area to improve their mobility and health without the feel of being in a hospital.<\/p>\n

UCHealth\u2019s Clinical Education and Innovation Center staff will be on hand at the Community Open House with training mannequins mocked up as patients so visitors can see how the mannequins help prepare staff for real-life situations. Health care experts also will be available to answer questions about the laboratory and new retail pharmacy, mental health and sexual assault nurse examiner rooms in the ER, the helipad, MRI and other aspects of the new space.<\/p>\n
