Building a diverse workforce to serve our community is a central element to providing the highest quality, patient-centered care. A range of backgrounds and perspectives leads to a variety of ideas, knowledge, and approaches from which decisions are made. A medical staff reflective of the patient population results in improved access to care, patient-provider communication, patient satisfaction, and health outcomes.
At Denver Health, we pride ourselves on our commitment to diversity. Equal opportunity is a fundamental principle of Denver Health. As an equal opportunity employer, Denver Health is committed to recruit, hire, promote in a non-discriminatory manner.
