🌟 A proud moment for Denver Health's trauma program.

Our recent trauma recertification survey resulted in zero deficiencies, with reviewers recognizing several strengths across the program.

This achievement is a testament to the dedication, expertise and teamwork of our entire trauma community, including EMS partners, nurses, physicians, advanced practice providers, support staff and everyone who plays a role in caring for trauma patients.

As Trauma Medical Director Bailee Olliff, MD, shared, this success reflects the culture, collaboration and passion that define our team. We are grateful for this milestone and remain committed to advancing trauma care for our patients and community. 💙

Another meaningful Days of Celebration employee appreciation week has come to a close. ✨

Our final celebrations included the annual ice cream social, a night shift buffet for our overnight teams and an employee appreciation lunch served by Denver Health leaders. Throughout the week, teams across our health system came together to connect, celebrate and recognize the incredible dedication, compassion and teamwork that make our community so special.

Thank you to our employees for all you do each day in service of our patients, our community and one another. 💙
