We love our community! Connecting to those who live, work and play in the Denver metro area and beyond is part of our mission at Denver Health Orthopedics. We take pride in attending events where we can meet people, talk about what we do and help people get on the path to healing, feeling good and getting back to doing what they love.
If you would like us to come to your event, please email CommunityOutreach@dhha.org, with the subject line "Orthopedics Outreach."

Colfax Marathon Expo 2025
The Denver Health Orthopedics Sports Medicine and podiatry teams talked to runners and supporters of the Colfax Marathon at the two day expo at Empower Field at Mile High. We shared our medical expertise and answered questions about our services, all while handing out cool SWAG items like color-changing cups, beanies and t-shirts promoting our annual Trauma Survivors Fun Run.
Denver Health Trauma Survivors Fun Run 2025
Just under 400 people laced up their sneakers for the third annual Denver Health Trauma Survivors Fun Run at Berkeley Lake Park in Northwest Denver.
Fueled by resilience and gratitude, hundreds of patients, employees and community members came together to share powerful stories of survival, including Todd Brainard, who survived after his heart stopped for 20 minutes, and Viv Duval, survivor of a shooting in a health clinic. Both shared a heartfelt thanks for the care they received at Denver Health before joining the 5K or one-mile fun/walk.

My Denver Days
Denver Health's Orthopedics, Downtown Urgent Care and Dental teams joined forces at My Denver Days to raise awareness about our new designation as Denver’s only Orthopedic Center of Excellence, our convenient urgent care location and our wide range of dental services across Denver.
My Denver Days is part of a larger push to bring people back to the 16th Street Mall following its recent renovations.
This event was the perfect opportunity to remind our community about the essential services Denver Health provides and reinforce the importance of our role in supporting the health and well-being of Denver residents.
