National Jewish Health is a leading academic hospital and research center in Denver, Colorado, specializing in respiratory, cardiac, immune, and related disorders. Founded in 1899 in response to the influx of tuberculosis patients seeking Denver's climate, it initially faced delays due to the Silver Crisis of 1893 and economic depression, opening with funding from B'nai B'rith, a Jewish organization, though it operates as non-sectarian. It has earned international recognition for pioneering research, treatments, and coordinated care, drawing patients globally and maintaining a mission to heal, discover, and educate since inception. The institution integrates cutting-edge scientific discoveries with patient care for pulmonary, cardiac, immune conditions, holding a unique place in American medicine with over 124 years of leadership. As a non-profit, it continues to advance cures and effective therapies, providing contact points for media (Jessica Berry at berryj@njhealth.org, 303.398.1082; Adam Dormuth at dormutha@njhealth.org, 303.398.1002), donations (Donate@NJHealth.org, 303.728.6560), and physician relations.
