What do you do with an old hospital? In Boulder, you recycle it. The whole thing.

The recycling of Boulder Community Heath is the city's first deconstruction project, keeping 60.8 million pounds out of the landfill.

Interesting and hopeful read.

    Ah good memories. That’s where they sent me home (alone, I took the bus home) with a temp cast on a broken tib-fib in three places so they could bill my insurance as a scheduled surgery for the next day vs an emergency surgery immediately after my accident same day. Great job guys!

      Ouch. Both in a real pain sense and in the wallet. I hope the bones set correctly, at least.

        The surgeon did a great job putting everything back together. I was still on my families insurance at the time, and we hit the out of pocket deductible. I broke it snowboarding, eldora.

    Used to live a couple blocks away as a teenager and remember heading the ambulance (and neighbourhood dogs howling after them) every day.
