The St. Anthony Medical Campus combines our heritage of expert care with the latest in technology and innovation. Those arriving at St. Anthony Hospital via its main entrance are greeted by a timeline and history wall highlighting our care legacy. The starting point of the legacy story is 1892, the year the hospital opened on the original Sloan’s Lake Campus, an act of abiding faith and relentless effort by a small group of Sisters of St. Francis who sought funding for the building by getting contributions from Denver railroad men and miners.
