HCA HealthONE South Parker ER, A part of Sky Ridge, which is staffed by 30 CarePoint clinicians, was ranked No. 1 in patient experience among 173 HCA freestanding emergency departments nationwide for the second quarter of 2025.
The accomplishment comes just two years after South Parker ER (SPER) achieved the same accolade, highlighting the team’s consistent commitment to delivering exceptional patient care.
Approximately 450 patients are seen at SPER every month.
According to Adam Barkin, MD, a CarePoint emergency medicine physician and SPER’s medical director, the achievement was driven by multiple factors:
- Patients were seen an average of 4 minutes after arrival
- 100% of patients were in ED rooms
- The average length of stay was 83 minutes for discharged patients and 50 minutes for low-acuity patients
- SPER has an engaged and consistent nursing staff
CarePoint’s emergency medicine clinicians staff 46 EDs across five states, including 17 EDs in Colorado.
