How Community Hospital Received 19,500+ Viewers

The Project

Community Hospital, located in Grand Junction, is a key part of the Colorado West Healthcare System. The original hospital building, serving the community since 1965, had become outdated. To provide better care, expand services, and accommodate more patients, a new $50 million, 140,000-square-foot facility was planned and funded.

Community Hospital aimed to engage the public during the construction of the new facility, generating positive publicity and showcasing their commitment to transparency and community involvement. The hospital also sought to facilitate stakeholders’ ability to track the project from groundbreaking to completion, providing an interactive and immersive experience for users following the project’s development.

The Challenge

Engaging a community in a construction project is a significant challenge, particularly in terms of keeping the public informed and involved. The hospital needed a solution that would allow easy access to project updates, promote community interaction, and ensure continuous visibility of the construction progress.

TrueLook Solution

Having previously used a TrueLook Camera to manage the construction of the Canyon View Medical Plaza, Community Hospital turned to TrueLook for their new project. They implemented a new 5MP camera system at the construction site. This camera provided live streaming, time-lapse videos, and archived photos, all accessible to the public through the hospital’s website.

The Results

The new Community Hospital facility opened on March 17th, 2016. Over the 18 months of construction, the TrueLook Camera became a pivotal tool for community engagement. The camera’s live feed, embedded on the hospital’s website and publicized through various channels, received over 35,000 views from more than 19,500 users. This widespread visibility significantly boosted community awareness of the new hospital.

Key results include:

• Enhanced Community Engagement: Over 35,000 views from 19,500+ users highlighted the community’s interest and involvement.
• Improved Public Image: The hospital’s commitment to transparency and communication was showcased, improving its public image.
• Unique Stakeholder Experience: Engaging time-lapse videos and archived photos provided a unique and immersive experience for stakeholders.
• Sense of Ownership: The live viewing features fostered a sense of ownership and pride within the community.
