A new Denver Health baseline study of 2017 data shows only one third of persons affected by the opioid crisis accessed therapy and medication. To bridge the gap and fight the burden of substance misuse, Denver Health has established a new Center for Addiction Medicine (CAM).

The new Denver Health Downtown Urgent Care opens tomorrow, Oct. 16, 2019, serving Denver's workers, visitors and residents. Our urgent care team will be treating those who are sick or injured and who cannot wait for a primary care appointment.

Excited to see what our new building looks like? You can now take a virtual tour of the facility for an inside-look before it opens tomorrow. Start the 360° by clicking on the photo below.
