Denver Health is Colorado's primary “safety net” institution. In the last decade, this compassionate organization provided more than $2.4 billion in care for the uninsured. Nearly $280 million of that care was provided last year, constituting 42 percent of all unsponsored care provided in metropolitan Denver and nearly 30 percent in the state. Twenty-five percent of all Denver residents, or 160,000 individuals, receive their health care at Denver Health. One of every three children in Denver is cared for by Denver Health physicians.
