Denver Health Level One Trauma Leading The Way in Life Saving Research

Since 1860, Denver Health has not only been saving lives but also producing leading research in the medical field. This research is now being applied throughout the world, including in the U.S. Armed forces.

Denver Health's Level One Trauma team is currently involved or has already completed a total of six studies, funded by the U.S. Department of Defense.

Denver Health has received federal funding to investigate:
