National Jewish Health in Denver, Colorado, was founded more than 100 years ago to treat tuberculosis. Over the past century, we have become the leading respiratory hospital in the nation. Our nationally recognized infectious disease doctors provide state-of-the-art care for patients with tuberculosis, Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM), multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and other infectious diseases. Our specialized laboratories work with our multidisciplinary team of infectious disease specialists to choose the most appropriate medicines and doses for you. This helps to minimize drug side effects and toxicity, which can be common with the drugs used to treat MDR-TB patients.
