AdventHealth buys 44 acres next to Parker hospital for future expansion

AdventHealth has locked up a large piece of land next to its Parker hospital, spending $16.5 million for 44 acres at the northwest corner of Crown Crest Boulevard and East Pine Lane. The deed was filed in Douglas County, putting the deal into the local public record and signaling a long-range investment in one of Parker’s most important health-care corridors.

The seller was Bowey Family Partnership LLLP. For AdventHealth, the purchase gives the health system room to grow beside a hospital that has served the southeast Denver metro area for nearly 21 years and that the system says has earned the community’s trust for more than 20 years. AdventHealth Parker is currently a 179-bed hospital, and the land buy comes on top of a $300 million expansion project the hospital announced on Jan. 7, 2025.

No specific building plan has been released for the 44 acres, but the property’s location makes its likely purpose clear: it could support future outpatient space, parking, specialty services or other medical uses without moving far from the existing campus. That matters in Parker, where developable land is increasingly valuable and where growth has continued to push up demand for care.

AdventHealth Parker already offers emergency care, cancer care, mother-and-baby care, imaging, sports medicine and rehabilitation, wound care, orthopedics and robotic-assisted surgery. The campus also advertises free parking and weekday valet service, details that suggest future expansion could affect not just clinical space but also traffic flow, circulation and the way patients enter and move through the site. Rachel Robinson said plans are being developed thoughtfully to support patients and the community in the years ahead.

The purchase also fits a broader pattern. AdventHealth re-assumed direct management of Parker Adventist Hospital and renamed it AdventHealth Parker in August 2023, and the hospital’s 2025 Community Health Needs Assessment says it has been part of the Parker community since 2004. That same system also announced a 40-acre medical campus in Aurora in January 2025, with plans for a community hospital, underscoring a wider push across the Front Range. For Parker, the new land next to Crown Crest Boulevard may be the clearest sign yet that the hospital’s next chapter will be built around growth, and around the population that is still arriving.
