Denver Health is one of ten regional facilities in the United States designated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a Regional Ebola and Special Pathogen Treatment Center. The designation confirms that Denver Health is prepared and equipped to care for patients with suspected or confirmed cases of Ebola and other special pathogens.
To date, no confirmed Ebola cases have been presented at Denver Health, but since 2015, the hospital has evaluated and treated two suspected cases.
Denver Health is part of a national network of health care providers, hospitals and public health agencies that collaborate to identify the best clinical, logistical and public health practices for identified and emerging special pathogens.
