UCHealth northern Colorado vice-president Russ Woolley said the centre will help solve a challenge occurring in northern Colorado in recent years, and the need for more local emergency services to keep up with the region’s rapid population growth.

Mr Woolley said: "We have loyal patients who live in south and southeastern Fort Collins and we want to continue our relationship with them by providing convenient, high quality emergency care that is easily accessible and integrated within the UCHealth provider network and electronic medical records system."

Based on the approval by the city, the centre is expected to be constructed and opened in 2015.

PVH, the main campus located five miles northwest of Harmony campus, plans to start preparing a two-story addition in 2015 to accommodate a sizable expansion of its emergency services department.
