Letter from the CEO

Dear Patients and Friends,

Kindred Hospital Denver serves a unique purpose in the continuum of healthcare in our community. We partner with patients and their families, physicians, other hospitals and nursing facilities. Kindred Hospital Denver cares for medically complex, severely ill patients who may be ventilator-dependent and require treatment for wounds, brain injuries or other conditions. We treat patients who require care at a higher level than skilled nursing can provide, but who don’t belong in a traditional, or short term, acute hospital setting. Our success in our endeavor is apparent as 95% of our patients and families would recommend Kindred.

Because of the catastrophic nature of our patients’ illnesses and the usual length of their stays at Kindred, we form a close bond of cooperation and coordination with family members and other loved ones. Even as we apply the latest technology and the most innovative proven techniques in an effort to restore health, our focus remains on the humanity and dignity of our patients and their families.

Technology with a human touch. . . . That is our goal.

Sincerely,

Jan Eyer
Chief Executive Officer
