What does Denver Health mean to the community?
Denver Health is the heart of Denver. This video aims to give everyone a look at what goes on inside and behind the scenes at this major hospital system in the Denver Metro area, as told by its patients and its dedicated, mission-driven health care workers. Nearly 40 departments and services at Denver Health are featured in this eight minute video.
Denver Health is a place of care for all, but is much more than a hospital. With primary care centers providing care to the whole family throughout the city, Denver Health Paramedics and a network of specialized health care teams, we are an anchor in the community since 1860, serving the people of Denver and providing care for all no matter who they are.
"I am really happy with Denver Health. Dr. (Cyril) Mauffrey, he is my life changer," said patient-turned Denver Health pharmacy tech Kemal Hebano, who after leg straightening surgery was cured of a childhood injury and now walks upright for the first time in 40 years. His ailment had affected his confidence and kept him from working full-time. He now works for Denver Health - coming full circle.
Denver Health aims to uplift the community - though hiring, buying, investing and training local. We address social determinants of health, including access to healthy foods, housing, jobs and transportation. Health care is about more than a doctor's visit - it's about caring for the whole person and making sure their life outside of the health care system is a healthy and safe one.
"It means a lot to me to be able to help out the community by going out there to offer care to people that don't have a vehicle or don't have a way to get to us," said Mobile Health Center medical assistant Ana Jacobo Cervantes.
"Denver Health saved my life, simple as that," said patient Jonathan Sweangen, who survived a heart attack and is now in Denver Health's cardiac rehabilitation program.
We are the heart of Denver and we're with you for life's journey.
