Safe at Denver Health

- Temperature checks at the door for all patients, staff and visitors
- Patient, staff and visitor screenings at the door for COVID-19 symptoms
- Mandatory masking and social distancing in clinic
- Advanced cleaning and sanitation
- Expansion of telehealth and telemedicine services, so patients can visit their provider over the phone or through video conferencing
A New Location to Better Serve Our Patients
Dr. Rozwadowski is excited to lead the new Sloan's Lake Primary Care Center and wants to stress that it will better serve Denver Health's growing patient population with a location that is convenient, safe and easy to access.
"Just seeing the atmosphere that was in here, it was a good experience," said Maestas, after his first appointment at the bright, new clinic.
Patient Alice Garcia agreed, "I'm going to keep coming back here, because it's [now] my favorite location."
