Banner Health Medical Center Issues Discussion
• Ambulance Traffic:
– All emergency response calls for service in Larimer County are routed through
the 911 system in Fort Collins.
– Typically ambulance service providers have GPS guided map routing to provide
the fastest, least obstructed route to the emergency and to the designated
medical facility (which requires using freeways, highways and major arterials).
– Emergency ambulance service providers would only use neighborhood streets if
there was an emergency in the neighborhood or if major arterial streets were
block off due to an emergency event.
– Colorado Model Traffic Code, Section 108 regulations apply to all emergency
response.
– It is estimated that 6 –8 patients would be transported to/from the Harmony
Road Medical Center per day at full build out (2‐4 for Phase 1).
– Banner Health requires ambulance service providers to observe a designated
safe and quiet environment zone within a one (1) mile area from the medical
center campus.
Banner Health Medical Center Issues Discussion
• Medical Campus Regulated Medical Waste (“RMW”) & Hospital Waste (“HW”)
Disposal Transport :
– RMW is “bio‐hazardous” waste that is regulated by the State of Colorado and the
hospital is accountable for the control of the RMW within the facility and for the
proper destruction/disposal of the RMW.
– Banner Health uses a licensed RMW disposal company to pick up and autoclave
the RMW at their facility in Dancono, Colorado.
– HW are EPA regulated materials and enforcement of control within the hospital
facility and disposal of HW is under the jurisdiction of the State of Colorado.
Banner Health uses an approved EPA disposal and transport firm from Kimball,
Nebraska for HW.
– Transport of RMW and HW is regulated by the City of Fort Collins on city streets
and the State of Colorado on state highways and interstates. Regulations require
transport of these materials in the most direct and safe route possible between
the origin and destination of the RMW and HW.
– City and State regulations prohibit transport through residential neighborhoods
unless absolutely necessary.
– All medical center RMW and HW routing for transport will be directly from the
hospital central services facility to Harmony Road east to I‐25.
Helistop Aircraft Final Approach & Takeoff Primary Flight Path

SECONDARY FATO
Banner Health Medical Center Issues Discussion
• Medical Campus Helistop and Aircraft Flight Path:
– The medical center helistop is located along the Harmony Road frontage and
only used to aircraft arrival and departures with no permitted aircraft long
term parking, maintenance, refueling or hanger storage facilities.
– The helistop is anticipated to be used primarily to transfer patients to other
higher level trauma centers or other regional facilities as required.
– The State of Colorado designates Level 1 to 4 for trauma center, with Level 1
providing the highest level of emergency care and Level 4 the lowest level of
emergency care. The Harmony Road medical facility is anticipating to operate
as a Level 3 or 4 trauma center.
– The helicopter flight path above 500 feet from ground level is regulated by
FAA which prescribes that flight paths be limited to industrial
highway/freeway/major arterial corridors and restricted from flying over
residential neighborhoods, schools, churches and sensitive ecological areas,
unless unusual weather conditions force deviation from normal flight paths for
operational safety.
– It is anticipated that the Harmony Road medical center would have 2‐4
helicopter patient transport per week at full build out (0‐1 for Phase 1).
