Boulder Community Health (BCH) is a nonprofit health system located in Boulder, Colorado.
The origins of the health system began nearly two years after the University of Colorado School of Medicine decided to relocate their campus to Denver with the formation of the nonprofit Community Hospital Association on April 19, 1922.
In 1926, the Boulder Community Hospital was dedicated with 45 beds at 1100 Balsam Avenue, north of downtown Boulder.
Beginning in 1955, Boulder Community Hospital raised funds to expand. By 1974, the hospital had a capacity of 172 beds and was seeing more than 14,000 emergency department patients annually.
On October 9, 2014, Boulder Community Health consolidated all of its emergency and trauma services and most inpatient including cancer, surgery, and orthopedic to Foothills Hospital in East Boulder. Services that remained at the Boulder Community Hospital location included non-critical care, in-patient rehab, behavior health care, and billing and records.
The city of Boulder agreed to purchase the Boulder Community Hospital campus in 2015. Boulder Community Health moved its final service from the location on April 8, 2019, and held a closing ceremony on April 26. The property was turned over to the city of Boulder in May.
By 1985, Boulder Community Hospital began to expanding to other locations outside Boulder Community Hospital through opening of new centers and acquisition of Boulder Memorial Hospital.
In 2003, Foothills Hospital was opened at a more central location to better serve its service area in response to the population growth in east Boulder County.
