The MFM team at Denver Health provides specialized care to pregnant patients considered moderate to high risk, supporting them from pre-conception through the post-partum period. Our physicians provide consultation to colleagues throughout the Denver Health network, including advanced practice providers such as Certified Nurse Midwives and Nurse Practitioners, generalist OB/GYN and Family Medicine providers.

The Department of OB/GYN is a highly collaborative environment where physicians, advanced practice providers, and nursing staff work as cohesive team. We are committed to fostering an environment where team members practice at the top of their scope, ensuring the highest quality, patient-centered care.

Denver Health serves the underserved populations of the city and county of Denver, primarily caring for patients who are government-insured and medically and socially complex. With approximately 4,000 births annually, the Department delivers full-scope obstetric and gynecologic services. About half of these patients receive care in our OB/GYN clinics staffed by OB/GYN physicians and advanced practice providers (CNMs and NPs), while the remainder are served through community clinics with Family Medicine providers.

As a teaching affiliate of the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Denver Health is highly invested in educating the next generation of the healthcare workforce. Faculty members in the OB/GYN Department engage regularly in teaching residents and medical students, contributing both clinically and in didactic settings.
