UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital (UCH) supports a teaching and research environment. In addition, being a Magnet Hospital affirms that we represent the “gold standard” for nursing care.

UCH is one of the premier academic research institutions in the country. We deliver quaternary (fourth level) care as a part of a consortium of teaching hospitals across the nation.

While UCH is a separate entity from the University of Colorado, we’re part of the University of Colorado campus system, which operates under a total learning environment mission. We are directly linked to the graduate health sciences schools of the University of Colorado Denver through joint and clinical appointments.

• Providing patient-centric education and cutting-edge research opportunities are important parts of our hospital mission. Our Magnet-designated hospital supports an environment where teaching and research activities are respected. Contributions from dedicated research professionals help us achieve excellence in patient care outcomes.
