Welcome to the Denver Health Foundation

The Denver Health Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation that supports Denver Health, the Rocky Mountain region’s safety net hospital system. 

Since 1860, Denver Health has played a crucial role in sustaining a standard of health care that has resulted in Denver’s reputation as one of our nation’s healthiest cities.  It has done so by its commitment to a mission that includes access to high quality health care for everyone, including the region’s most vulnerable populations; superb emergency and trauma care; public health vigilance; education of the next generation of health care professionals; and research to advance the care of its patients.

Upholding Denver Health’s long-standing mission is not the job of a few concerned citizens – it is a job for all of us.  To find out how you can help, explore the Foundation’s web pages.  To learn about how you can make a difference, read about our giving opportunities.  You can make a gift today online to support a variety of Denver Health programs and to learn about volunteer opportunities at Denver Health.
