Why choose National Jewish Medical and Research Center?
We’re focused.
Because National Jewish focuses on respiratory, allergic and immune diseases, its faculty and staff have developed expertise second to none in diagnosing and treating those diseases. The physicians at National Jewish not only treat patients, most also conduct research that improves our understanding of those diseases and leads to new treatments.
We take our time.
We constantly hear from patients who tell us how surprised and pleased they are by the amount of time our physicians and staff spend with them, learning about their symptoms, taking their medical histories and answering their questions. We see many patients with difficult cases that have stumped good doctors. We realize that it takes time to understand these cases and communicate with our patients about them.
We treat the whole person.
We understand that getting well involves more than just taking a few medications. That’s why patients who come to National Jewish often see more than just one physician. They often meet with a rehabilitation specialist who can teach them exercises to make them stronger and helpful tips that make everyday living easier. They may see talk to a nutritionist who can offer helpful dietary suggestions, or an education specialist who can teach them about their disease and how best to manage it. Often they talk to a behavioral specialist who understands the challenges faced by patients and their families, and can offer insights and advice that ease the burden of having a chronic disease. By bringing many perspectives to bear upon each case, National Jewish provides better chances for the right diagnosis and an effective treatment plan.
We’re recognized as the best.
U.S. News & World Report has named National Jewish the best respiratory hospital in the nation for ten consecutive years. Approximately 20% of National Jewish clinical faculty is named in the nationally recognized guide, “America’s Top Doctors”, which includes less than 1% of practicing physicians in the nation.
Personalized Medicine -- Science Transforming LifeTM
In 2007, we embarked on a new chapter of our history here at National Jewish. Over the next 10 years we will seek to usher in a new era in medicine, one in which we move from a reactive trial-and-error method of practicing medicine to a proactive model of personalized, total healthcare. Our 2007 annual report outlines our efforts to achieve that goal.
