This summer, the staff of NCLTAH and NCLRH joined forces to raise money for the Salvation Army “Kidz 2 Kamp Program”. I am pleased to announce that the staff and visitors raised $2,686.40 resulting from a bake sale and raffle drawing. To recognize the commitment to supporting the Salvation Army the hospital matched and contributed additional funds for a grand total donation of $7,872.80. Major Stephen Slater and his wife Ann, visited our hospital to receive the donation, pictured above. Thank you to all of those that contributed to this year’s fund raising efforts!


1.29.10 - Front Range Community College Students Tour Campus

On January 29, 2010, Healthcare Foundation students from Front Range Community College toured Northern Colorado Long Term Acute and Northern Colorado Rehabilitation hospitals. These students are in a nine month program to give them a foundational education in 14 different health care careers such as Nurses, Certified Nurse Assistants, or Medical Assistants.

Approximately 80 students toured the 40 bed inpatient rehabilitation facility, the 5,000 square foot therapy gym and the 20 bed long term acute hospital. Students were enthusiastic to see an interdisciplinary approach applied in treating patients who have suffered a stroke, traumatic brain injury, significant illness, or are recovering from orthopedic surgery. Many of these students will use this program as a stepping stone into a medical field. In addition to the tour, they received teaching from the nursing leadership on-site.

Northern Colorado Long Term Acute and Northern Colorado Rehabilitation hospitals are owned and operated by Ernest Health, Inc. For the third consecutive year, Northern Colorado Rehabilitation Hospital has been ranked in the Top 10% of 813 inpatient rehabilitation facilities by the UDSMR.

Students pose for a picture after the tour. Someday, we may see them working here! Stephanie Klecker gives Front Range Students a tour of Northern Colorado Long Term Acute Hospital.

04.20.08 - The Northern Colorado Rehabilitation Hospital and the Northern Colorado Long Term
Two Specialty Hospitals; One Acute Care Campus

The Northern Colorado Rehabilitation Hospital and the Northern Colorado Long Term Acute Hospital are located on the acute care campus located just east of I-25 on US 34. It serves a large region, including parts of Wyoming, Nebraska, and the Northern Colorado Front Range.

The campus has two separate and distinct hospitals. On one side is Northern Colorado Long Term Acute Hospital (NCLTAH), which provides medical care for patients who have been discharged from acute care hospitals but still need medical attention. NCLTAH admits patients, from intensive or critical care departments from local area hospitals. "We provide 24/7 acute medical care," says Daniel Asadi, DO, who is the medical director for the hospital. "The patients we care for are sick enough to be in a hospital for a long period of time because they have complications or they are transferred to our facility to get the care that is adequate for a longer period of time."
