Denver Health is Colorado's primary “safety net” institution. In the last 10 years, this compassionate organization provided more than $2.1 billion in care for the uninsured. Nearly $276 million of that care was provided last year and more than 40 percent of the care was provided to uninsured patients. Despite this large financial responsibility, Denver Health remains financially solvent through an efficient, vertically integrated system.
Twenty-five percent of all Denver residents, or approximately 150,000 individuals, receive their health care at Denver Health. One of every three children in Denver is cared for by Denver Health physicians.
Denver Health is a comprehensive, integrated organization with multiple components including:
· 477-bed main hospital at Eighth Avenue and Bannock Street that houses the Rocky Mountain Regional Level 1 Trauma Center, the only academic level 1 trauma center in the area
· 911 medical response system for the City and County of Denver
· Denver Public Health Department
· 8-clinic network of Family Health Centers throughout the city
