Centura Health is the largest healthcare provider in Colorado. Our pharmacists enjoy the benefits of practicing in their field within one of the most beautiful destinations in the world. 

With 12 facilities located throughout Colorado, Centura Health offers variety of settings and communities to provide you with professional development and personal fullfillment in your pharmacy career.  Multiple pharmacy jobs are available within the Centura organization; we have acute care hospitals and clinics offering several specialties - from our busy Level 1 hospitals to smaller community medical centers in Colorado’s more rural locations.

Centura Health is proud to offer state of the art pharmacy services and some the region’s latest technology, allowing pharmacists to spend more time using their clinical skills.

• Our 12 acute-care facilties share a single Clinical Information System, with a single drug database supported by two full-time Pharmacy Analysts.
• Automated Dispensing Cabinetry is utilized extensively for medication distribution.
• Centralized pharmacy automation is in place at several facilities within the system.
• Centralized unit-dose packaging operation eliminates the need to re-package medications at each site.
• Bar Code technology is utilized for Medication Administration in some facilities, with plans to implement system-wide soon.
• Centura Health is moving in the direction of computerized physician order entry (CPOE) in the near future.

As a pharmacy leader at Centura, you will enjoy:

• Strong system-support for our pharmacy directors.  Centura Health’s Pharmacy Directors meet monthly to discuss issues and find solutions to challenges faced by today’s pharmacy directors.  As a new pharmacy director within Centura Health you will be able to draw on the knowledge and support of 11 other directors willing to share best practices, policies, formulary decisions, regulatory issues, and I.T. solutions.
• Progressive view of pharmacy's role in healthcare. At Centura Health, leadership values the important role of the Clinical Pharmacist in patient care.  Pharmacists spend a great deal of time on the nursing units, in physician rounds, directly impacting patient care to ensure the best pharmaceutical support is provided.
• Support from a National Pharmacy Council.  All Centura pharmacists enjoy access to the assistance and expertise of over 70 hospitals owned by Catholic Health Initiatives. The result? 24/7 information available right at your finger tips!

A testimonial from a recently hired pharmacy leader, Kelley Griffith:

"As a newly hired Director of Pharmacy unfamiliar with the Centura system, I had many questions that could only be truly answered when I experienced the role for myself:

• Would I be fully staffed? Would I have the resources to STAY fully staffed? Would I have the resources to be able to treat my staff like professionals and not burn out? Would my staff possess the expertise and level of engagement to meet the obligations of the department? If not, would I have the resources to get them there?

• Were the resources going to be available for me to fix the things that needed fixing?

• Were they honest about the issues in the pharmacy - current and upcoming?

• Were the other directors inside the hospital interested in engagement and working together?

• Were there opportunities for growth? Were the appropriate resources allocated for that growth?

The answers to these questions were all yes and are still yes and even though there were definitely more things that needed work here than I expected. I felt like I could do more with what was already here than other environments of which I had competitive offers.

I think Centura has been exceptional so far! It’s certainly the only place I've worked that I can say has committed to these areas to help make me successful."
