Who We Are
Denver Health has been treating and healing the Denver community for more than 160 years since its founding as City Hospital in 1860.

In addition, Denver Health delivers broad care across the community through the Denver Health Paramedic Division, the Public Health Institute, School-based health centers, Rocky Mountain Poison & Drug Safety, and more.
