Media Aids

The difference between the hospital and the university. Despite the similarity in our names, the hospital and the university are legally and financially separate organizations. The hospital itself gets no direct state general fund support.

Communications Inquiries

As part of its commitment to openness, the hospital publishes several Web sites (including this public one) and UCH Insider, an e-mail newsletter about clinical, business, and staff news. We also work closely with and support our partner University of Colorado Denver in its various communications and publication efforts. UCH-publications@uch.edu

Marketing Inquiries

Our marketing department’s goal is to spread knowledge of and promote the hospital, its patients, caregivers and employees. UCH-marketing@uch.edu
