For example, the U.S. News and World
Report 2014-15 report on the nation’s best
hospitals found that three hospitals in the
Denver metro area have nationally-ranked
specialties.
Those hospitals include Porter Adventist
Hospital in Denver and Craig Hospital
in Englewood. The University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora ranks in the top
3 percent of all hospitals in the country,
with nine nationally ranking specialties including cancer care, diabetes, and
pulmonology.
These and other excellent hospitals in the
metro area are making the region a leader
in the national health care industry. Hospitals throughout Colorado are committed to
providing excellent patient care and contributing to groundbreaking research with the
potential to save lives.
