New Denver Health Facility To Vaccinate Thousands Soon

Denver Health's new Outpatient Medical Center (OMC) is expecting to vaccine thousands of people in the coming weeks. The center opened on Monday, February 1.

"This will be our largest vaccine site where we can distribute the most amount of vaccine to our patients, and we are very excited to bring this facility on-site," Wade Ebersole with Denver Health told FOX31.

The vaccine clinic will be in the spaces Denver Health planned to use for services such as physical therapy.

The OMC is close to 300,000 square feet and has seven floors offering over 30 medical services.

They will also offer free parking for their patients.

“We built this facility to improve the care for our patients and the community we serve. Right now, getting as many people as possible vaccinated against COVID-19 is a top priority for our community,” said Robin D. Wittenstein, Denver Health chief executive officer. “We are fortunate to have the ability to expand our vaccination sites by utilizing the OMC and can do so without interfering with our patient and staff needs. It’s a win-win for everyone.”

As they wait for state approval, Denver Health hopes to begin vaccinating patients at the OMC within the next two weeks.
