AdventHealth University Denver officially opened its doors at its new 16,000-square-foot site that will facilitate expanded student enrollment, helping to stem the shortfall of essential health care workers in the community and throughout the U.S.
The moment was marked with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony, drawing education and health care leaders from around the U.S.
“This is a historic day for AdventHealth University, AdventHealth, and the Colorado community as we develop the next generation of nurses and imaging science professionals who will practice health care as a ministry,” C. Josef Ghosn, EdD, FACHE, president and CEO of AdventHealth University told guests today. “AdventHealth University Denver boldly exemplifies our commitment to play a vital role in the health care workforce pipeline, and we are thrilled to welcome students to this wonderful space that sparks discovery, encourages excellence, and fuels purpose.”
AdventHealth University Denver, celebrating its 16th anniversary, offers degrees in nursing, sonography and radiography. The new site includes state-of-the-art simulation equipment, high-fidelity mannikins, an energized lab and expanded student and classroom space. In addition, the new site is situated in the same building as the AdventHealth Rocky Mountain Region headquarters, 6061 S. Williow Drive in Greenwood Village, providing opportunities for synergy between the two organizations.
“This partnership is more than sharing a building. It’s about sharing a vision,” said Brett Spenst, CEO of AdventHealth Colorado. “Through scholarships, leadership, and clinical training, AdventHealth is committed to helping AHU students thrive.”
Guests toured AdventHealth University Denver’s new instructional spaces and talked with students, alumni, and faculty.
AdventHealth University Denver aims to double its enrollment to 200-250 students over the next five to seven years.
