Positive Results After One Year of Race, Ethnicity and Language Method (We Ask Because We Care)

Denver Health is seeing the benefits of a one-year-old program to better collect information from our patients. In April of 2021, we launched the Race, Ethnicity and Language Method, or REAL for short, throughout the hospital system, which includes special training for registration staff on how to sensitively ask patients questions about their racial and ethnic backgrounds.

Denver Health is now offering COVID-19 vaccines to children as young as six months old. Vaccinations for the six months to five-year-old age group are authorized by the Food and Drug Administration and recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and vaccinations are the safest and best way to protect our children, family and friends from getting COVID-19.

The Denver Health Board of Directors has announced that Donna Lynne, DrPH, will serve as the next Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to lead Denver Health. Lynne was named sole finalist for the CEO position on June 9. Today, the board voted to extend the job offer to Lynne and she accepted. 

Vaccinations are available to everyone age 6 months and over.
