The station's pedestrian bridge crosses Interstate 225 and connects it with HCA HealthONE Aurora and its medical offices, as well as residential areas on the west side of I-225. During planning and construction, RTD designated the station's name as "Medical Center of Aurora", referencing the name of the hospital at the time. This reference was dropped prior to the station's opening on February 24, 2017.
The station does not have a parking lot or bus connections.
