Celebrating 150 Years As Denver’s Hospital
In 1860, Denver Health became the city’s first hospital. Over 150 years, it has evolved into a critical network of health care resources offering nationally renowned care in trauma, orthopedics and infectious disease, as well as over $318 million in uncompensated care last year alone. With its dual focus on fostering medical advancement and providing for those who cannot afford care, Denver Health has become a model of health care success for the nation. At Night Shine, guests can help ensure Denver Health continues to meet the health needs of Denver’s citizens by sponsoring a table and bidding on live auction items.
Introducing Denver Health's Child Life Zone
In addition to celebrating its sesquicentennial, Night Shine offers the perfect venue to announce Denver Health’s newest partnership with the Garth Brooks Teammates For Kids Foundation. This nonprofit foundation was co-founded by Garth Brooks to work in partnership with professional athletes, celebrities, organizations and fans to generate funds for children’s charities. Teammates For Kids has awarded Denver Health the Rocky Mountain region’s only Child Life Zone. This state-of-the-art, therapeutic and educational environment provides a safe haven for children coping with illness and hospitalization. Denver Health’s Child Life Zone will be the seventh in the country.
