Chief Nursing Officer Message
It is my pleasure to serve as Chief Nursing Officer at Denver Health. We are a team of more than 2,300 nurses and nursing staff who pride ourselves in effectively caring for all populations of patients and families, demonstrating a love for nursing, and a commitment to working together as an interprofessional team.
Our impact reaches far beyond the walls of our facilities. Each year, we care for more than 200,000 patients, and as Denver continues to grow, we estimate that one in four residents relies on Denver Health for their care. This represents not only an extraordinary responsibility, but also a powerful reflection of the trust our community places in our nurses—trust that we honor every day through skill, compassion, and collaboration.
Based in our roots as a nursing school in 1887, we continue to train many of the future nurses of Colorado, providing more clinical sites for student nurses than any other health care facility in Colorado. This legacy of excellence, education, and service continues to define who we are and how we lead.
Nursing is alive and well at Denver Health!
