Rose Medical Center is a part of HCA Healthcare's HealthONE network.[2] It is colloquially known as Denver's "Baby Hospital," but also provides comprehensive women's care, orthopedics and total joint replacement, heart and vascular care, weight-loss treatment, cancer care, surgical services, internal medicine and emergency care. An acute care hospital with 422 licensed beds, Rose cares for more than 160,000 patients annually with a team of 1,300 full-time employees, 100 volunteers and more than 1,200 physicians.[3] The medical center is a Level IV trauma center.[4] Casey Guber is the President and chief executive officer.

Rose Medical Center was founded in 1945 by a group of Jewish community leaders who wanted to create a hospital that was free of discrimination. Following a national fundraising campaign, the new hospital was named in honor of Denver prominent figure Major General Maurice Rose, one of the highest-ranking members of the military to die in the field of combat.  The cornerstone of the main building of the hospital was laid by General Dwight D. Eisenhower on August 31, 1948, and General Rose Memorial Hospital opened for patients in March 1949. Rose gave credentials to the first African American physician in the state of Colorado.

Awards and recognition

In 2017, Rose Medical Center became a Magnet® designated hospital.[5] The Magnet program designates organizations worldwide where nursing leaders successfully align their nursing strategic goals to improve the organization's patient outcomes.

Rose also has earned Straight As from the Leapfrog Group[9] recognizing patient safety since the program began –an achievement earned by less than 1% of hospitals surveyed nationwide. U.S. News & World Report ranked Rose #4 in Colorado and Denver Metro for Best Hospital and as ‘High Performing’ in Seven Adult Procedures and Conditions for 2018–19.[10] Its employees have named Rose a Denver Post Top Workplace each year from 2014–present.[11]
