At the Public Health Institute at Denver Health® (PHIDH), we connect public health, health care systems, and communities to improve health for all.
When communities and systems work together, care becomes more equitable, prevention more effective, and health stronger.
We Are Where Public Health and Patient Care Meet
We bridge public health and health care through clinical care, hands-on training, real-world partnerships, and shared learning so that every person has the opportunity to achieve their best health and every community has the support it needs to thrive.

We provide compassionate, culturally responsive care through our clinics, including:
- Supportive care for reproductive and sexual health needs
- Immunizations and vaccine-preventable disease programs
- Infectious disease and tuberculosis testing, specialty care, and prevention
We collaborate with communities to co-create solutions, build trust, and support care that reflects people’s real lives. Our work includes:
