Founded in 1979, the Denver PTC provides innovative training, consultation and information to healthcare professionals and their organizations.

The Denver PTC has the unique advantage of being a program within a public health department (Denver Public Health) that resides within a large comprehensive healthcare system (Denver Health and Hospital Authority). We operate in partnership with the University of Colorado Denver School of Public Health with whom we share an interdisciplinary staff and faculty.
