Medical Center of the Rockies is a 166-bed regional medical center in Loveland, Colorado, with a full spectrum of services. It specializes in heart (Heart Center of the Rockies) and trauma care (Trauma Center of the Rockies). Surgical services include general surgery, cardiothoracic, orthopedic, and neurological trauma and robotic-assisted surgery programs. MCR has two intensive care units, a birthing center and special care nursery, a medical nursing unit, a surgical nursing unit, an inpatient acute rehabilitation unit and full-service radiology and laboratory departments. To help in the patient’s recovery you will find healing gardens, kitchens and lounges for guests and families, spectacular views of Longs Peak, and large private patient rooms with warm décor, windows that open, and a place for loved ones to sleep.
MCR opened in February of 2007 and was the first LEED Gold Certified hospital in Colorado and only the second in the nation. It was designed as a world-class facility that would not only promote health and healing, but also support the environment, enhance staff comfort, and benefit the bottom line through sound product purchases and energy efficiency. As a member of Practice Greenhealth and a participant in the Healthier Hospital’s Initiative, MCR plays an important role in the University of Colorado Health’s quest to become a better environmental steward.
With a 2012 Site EUI of 166 kBtu per square foot and an ENERGY STAR score of 89, MCR is the only hospital in Colorado with a 2013 ENERGY STAR label. Close monitoring of energy and water consumption and implementation of conservation strategies have resulted in steadily decreasing use when normalized on an adjusted patient day basis. Reflecting UCHealth’s vision of “From health care to health,” MCR is transforming the industry and taking positive steps to lower the cost of healthcare.

Testimonial:
In order to know where you need to go you have to understand where you have been. Using ENERGY STAR to aggregate your data is the first step in a long journey to become a better environmental steward. Numbers are just that, only numbers. To change behavior that we have been entrenched in for generations will take years if not generations. Be tactful, tenacious, and don't forget to celebrate your accomplishments on a regular basis :-).
