In 1960, members of the Brighton community embarked on a mission to bring healthcare services to the city. They formed auxiliary teams, rallied troops, and went door to door until they raised $500,000 to open Brighton Community Hospital (BCH) in 1960. BCH was the first private, general medical-surgical hospital in Adams and Southern Weld Counties, and was also Colorado’s first two-stage hospital-nursing home medical unit licensed under one roof. In 1980, BCH became Platte Valley Medical Center.

In 2007, Platter Valley Medical Center moved its campus from the heart of downtown Brighton to its current location off Highway 67 and Prairie Center Drive. This location allowed both patients and EMS providers to more easily access the hospital, and also gave the hospital an opportunity to expand its services.

In 2015, Platte Valley  affiliated with SCL Health System to strengthen its position and deliver more advanced care through the expansion of specialties and services.

In 2022, SCL Health merged with Intermountain Health. Today, Platte Valley Hospital continues to grow and expand to serve the communities that rely on it for exceptional healthcare. Platte Valley Medical Group providers treat patients on the hospital’s campus, and in its four community clinic locations in Brighton, Fort Lupton, Reunion, and Thornton.
