Denver Health

About

For over 160 years, Denver Health has been dedicated to treating and healing the people of Denver, ever since its establishment in 1860 to meet the community's healthcare needs. Over the decades, we have evolved alongside our community, transforming into a comprehensive healthcare system that proudly serves all residents at every stage of their lives. From primary and specialty care to urgent, emergency, and trauma services, we are committed to delivering exceptional care.

Beyond our hospital walls, Denver Health extends its reach throughout the community with services like Denver Health Paramedics, the Public Health Institute, School-based Health Centers at Denver Public Schools, and the Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Safety center. As an integrated health system, we ensure seamless continuity of care for our patients, providing hospital and emergency services in the most efficient and cost-effective manner.

We are particularly attuned to the needs of special populations, including the poor, uninsured, pregnant teens, individuals struggling with addiction, victims of violence, and the homeless. As Colorado's primary safety-net institution, Denver Health has delivered billions in uncompensated care, contributing approximately $120 million annually. Our commitment serves as a benchmark for other safety-net institutions nationwide.
