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.
St. Anthony Hospital associates embrace a pioneering mindset. Their innovation has emerged time and again throughout our 125 Year history due to the determination of these incredible care givers on a mission to do incredible things. As they, and all care givers of Centura Health, pursue the best outcomes for their patients, St. Anthony Hospital associates continually advance the patient experience and treat the whole person – mind, body, and spirit.
