Thirty-eight newborns and moms went in one era and out the other Monday

Campus in Aurora.

The neonatal move was precursor to an even bigger move Thursday through 
Saturday, when semis will haul more than 8,000 pieces of medical 
equipment and ambulances will haul 150 patients in a logistical and 
timing challenge that's the hospital version of D-Day.

...

This week's move is the culmination of the vision to create a new campus

old Fitzsimons campus, where the Fitzsimons Army Hospital sat.
