A New Chapter in Our Story of Exceptional Care

Through a strong partnership formed in 1996, CommonSpirit Health and AdventHealth worked together to meet the needs of communities across Colorado, Utah and western Kansas. After 27 years, the organizations agreed that they can best serve these communities going forward by directly managing their respective care sites.

AdventHealth operates and manages the five Adventist hospitals and their affiliated clinics in Colorado, now known as: AdventHealth Avista, AdventHealth Castle Rock, AdventHealth Littleton, AdventHealth Parker and AdventHealth Porter.

  • What is AdventHealth’s Connection to These Hospitals?

  • Will Our Hospitals Get a New Name?

    Avista Adventist Hospital, Castle Rock Adventist Hospital, Littleton Adventist Hospital, Parker Adventist Hospital and Porter Adventist Hospital are becoming AdventHealth Avista, AdventHealth Castle Rock, AdventHealth Littleton, AdventHealth Parker and AdventHealth Porter.

  • Are They Faith-Based Hospitals?

    Yes, and they always have been. The mission of AdventHealth is “Extending the Healing Ministry of Christ” to the people and communities we serve. This mission is carried out through the healing and health-promoting work of our hospitals, clinics and related institutions.

  • Will You Still Accept My Insurance?

    If your insurance is already accepted, we'll still be able to accept your insurance. You can still make an appointment with the same team of physicians and care providers you’ve come to know and trust. If you have additional questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your provider directly.

  • Will the Name of My Doctor’s Office Change?

    Physicians employed by the hospital will become members of the AdventHealth Medical Group. While you'll start to see signs and logos changing, it won't change anything about your close relationship with the care team you've come to know and trust.

  • Will My Doctors, Specialists and Nurses Be the Same?

    Yes. Physicians employed by the hospital will now become members of the AdventHealth Medical Group. Physicians who are on the hospital medical staff, as well as private practice physicians, will still have privileges at our hospitals.
