Educational Facilities
The Anschutz Cancer Pavilion is the largest academic health center west of Chicago and north of Texas, and one of the nation’s newest education, research, and patient care facilities. The site houses most of our sub-specialty clinics and manages highly complex referral cases. Clinical research focuses on atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, CTCL, melanoma, and non-melanoma skin cancer.
Children's Hospital Colorado is the largest pediatric medical center within our seven-state region. US News and World Report ranks it as one of the best children's hospitals in the country for more than a decade. The site houses a permanent pediatric dermatology clinic and procedural suite. It is a major referral center for patients with vascular anomalies and surgical conditions requiring procedural treatment strategies. The sub-specialty foci includes genetic skin disorders and epidermolysis bullosa or wound healing.
The Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center opened in 2018. The site focuses on epidemiologic dermatology, and both short-term and long-term management of skin cancer. Teledermatology allows providers to serve geographically isolated patients in neighboring states.
25% of all Denver residents receive their medical care at Denver Health Medical Center. The site serves a diverse and underinsured patient population who tend to have more advanced, undiagnosed dermatologic disease. Adult, pediatric, and surgical dermatology clinics are held weekly.
