Innovative, interconnected and highly collaborative, the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus delivers life-changing treatments, patient care, professional training and conducts world-renowned research.

CU Anschutz is an academic health center at the forefront of transformative science, medicine and education, encompassing the University of Colorado health professional schools, more than 60 centers and institutes, and two nationally ranked independent hospitals – UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital and Children’s Hospital Colorado – with nearly 2.6 million patient visits each year.

“What makes CU Anschutz such an extraordinary place is the courage of our people to think and dream bigger,” says Chancellor Don Elliman. “It’s our shared spirit of innovation and collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to changing the face of medicine.”

The patient-centered approach at the University of Colorado Cancer Center – a national leader in cancer research and treatment, and the only National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center in Colorado – yields long-term survival rates for some cancers that are twice the national average, and surpass outcomes at other Colorado cancer centers.

The Division of Cardiology at CU Anschutz is internationally known for unlocking the causes of cardiomyopathy, advancing drug discovery, and delivering specialized clinical care at state-of-the-art facilities. A leader in a new, emerging approach to heart transplantation, CU Anschutz has demonstrated decades of transplant excellence, propelling the program to the 8th largest in the United States.

The Department of Neurology at CU Anschutz consistently ranks in the top neurology departments nationally in research support from the National Institutes of Health. As a leader in Parkinson’s disease research, CU Anschutz experts conducted 37 Parkinson’s clinical studies in 2024 alone. The University of Colorado Movement Disorders Center is a Parkinson’s Foundation Center of Excellence, treating over 7,000 people with Parkinson’s disease annually.

CU Anschutz is also leading advancements in the emerging field of autoimmune neurology, innovating research and improving diagnoses and treatments for people who suffer from complex neuroinflammatory diseases like Stiff Person Syndrome, as well as driving groundbreaking research and discoveries into hearing and vision restoration, offering hope to those suffering from blinding eye diseases like macular degeneration and glaucoma, and hearing loss caused by audio neuropathy and other conditions.

Powered by nearly $1 billion in research funding, the CU Anschutz campus creates an overall economic impact of $13 billion to the state of Colorado annually.
