University of Colorado Hospital to add 40 behavioral health beds

The University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora is opening a new inpatient behavioral health unit at the end of the month, according to a June 11 report from ABC affiliate KUSA.

The unit will include 40 inpatient beds in a remodeled space and will be the hospital's first new behavioral health unit since 2009, the report said. The rooms include a variety of features "with a sometimes challenging patient population in mind,", including doors that can be removed from their hinges if a patient barricades themselves inside, according to the report.
