When Denver Health Adult Virtual Urgent Care is Not the Right Option

  • If you think you have a severe, more life-threatening injury or illness, such as chest pain or difficulty breathing, please call 911 or go to the Emergency Department, as a telehealth appointment is not an option for traumatic situations
  • If your condition requires tests, X-rays or other procedures, you should come to one of our three Urgent Care Centers
  • If your condition is not urgent, please make an appointment to see your primary care physician. You can schedule an in-person or virtual primary care visit from the MyChart app, or by calling the appointment center at 303-436-4949.
  • The Denver Health 24-hour Nurseline is also available and provided exclusively to Denver Health patients and the people of Denver. Our caring medical staff quickly provide medical assistance, care advice and help you know if you need to be seen right away by a doctor. Call the Nurseline at 303-739-1211.
