Denver7 Investigates aired multiple stories in late 2022 where patients said they believed they were kept at the mental health facility longer than necessary while often not seeing a doctor or psychiatrist.
“In this case, finding out through the media, we’re just glad this was lifted up and we are able to hear about the allegations and now do what we need to do to get to the bottom of things through our investigation,” Busch said. Denver7 Investigates has also learned that the state’s Department of Public Health and Environment is also conducting investigations into the facility.
One nurse, B.J. Potts, who worked at the facility for six weeks, said assaults were a regular occurrence at the hospital.
