Denver Health is pleased to announce it has been designated an Aetna Institute of Quality (IOQ) bariatric facility for treating people living with morbid or extreme obesity.
Our facility earned IOQ status by consistently delivering safe, effective care. Aetna makes information about qualified facilities available to its members via Aetna Health. This helps members identify quality and cost-effective facilities that meet their special health care needs.
"We are honored to be designated an Aetna Institute of Quality,” said Alex Morton, MD, director of the Denver Health Bariatric Surgery Center. "This is a testament to our dedicated care team. We value the trust our patients have in us and our commitment to helping them on their journey toward better health."
Denver Health is a comprehensive health and hospital system that provides high-quality care and proudly serves as the city’s safety-net hospital. For more than 160 years, Denver Health has been guided by its mission to serve the people of Denver, to educate the next generation of health care professionals and to engage in research and community partnerships to better deliver the health care needs of our patients while strengthening our community.
