Elva German, 65, has been a resident of Longmont, Colorado for the last thirty years. Elva and her husband, Curt, have four children and six grandchildren. Retired, Elva remains active by paddleboarding, biking, and doing yoga.
Then, one day, Elva’s life turned upside-down when she began coughing up blood. She was admitted to a local acute care hospital and diagnosed with influenza and bacterial pneumonia. During her stay, Elva contracted sepsis and required the use of a ventilator to breathe.
With Elva facing a difficult recovery and an extended hospitalization, her family chose a transfer to Northern Colorado Long Term Acute Hospital in Johnstown. Elva’s son had previously been a patient at NCLTAH and received “wonderful care” during his stay.
The critical care hospital proved to be just what Elva needed to advance her recovery.

Northern Colorado Long Term Acute Hospital and Northern Colorado Rehabilitation Hospital are proud to announce Christina Salas, LSW, as market chief executive officer and Amy Hansen, PT, DPT, as chief operating officer.
Salas, who has been an integral part of the hospitals’ marketing and business development team for the past 10 years, is excited to take on the market CEO position. In her new role, Salas will be responsible for the operational and strategic leadership of the campus, which includes a critical care hospital, an inpatient medical rehabilitation hospital, and an outpatient therapy clinic.
“My passion for healthcare comes from genuine care and concern for every patient and family we have the opportunity to meet,” said Salas. “As a social worker, caring for a patient’s overall well-being while they travel an often challenging journey to recovery is of utmost importance to me. Having the opportunity to lead an entire hospital team in providing exceptional care will be considered one of my proudest accomplishments.”
Like Salas, Hansen also brings tenure with the hospitals and extensive experience in numerous healthcare settings to her new role. A physical therapist by background, Hansen most recently served as Northern Colorado Rehabilitation Hospital’s director of therapy operations.

Being a part of such a knowledgeable and caring team inspires me daily to cultivate the best environment possible for recovery.”
