Emergency Services at University of Colorado Hospital
The ED at UCH is in its new location! At 5 a.m. Sunday morning, April 7, the Emergency Department relocated to the first floor of the new tower, AIP 2, on the west side of the hospital.
The Emergency Department at University of Colorado Hospital is a Level II Trauma Center. This means we are set up to either treat or stabilize all emergency conditions.
When should I go to the Emergency Room?
If you have any condition you believe will harm you if you don’t see a doctor within 12-24 hours, you should go to the Emergency Room.
Call 911 if you think you have a true emergency!
Our ER is staffed by doctors and nurses who are highly trained to treat the most serious illnesses and conditions such as:
|
|
- Excessive bleeding
- Serious or multiple injuries from a car wreck
- Serious or multiple injuries from a high fall
- Shortness of breath
- Snakebites
- Stroke

Patients with more severe conditions are stabilized and transported to a Level I Trauma Center. We also stabilize and transfer children who are under 12-years-old or who weigh less than 88 pounds.
