Welcome

Welcome to the
Neighborhood

Denver, which is officially the City and County of Denver, is also the capital and most
populous municipality in the state of Colorado. Denver is located in the South Platte
River Valley on the western edge of the High Plains and just east of the Front Range of
the Rocky Mountains. The Denver downtown district is immediately east of the
confluence of Cherry Creek with the South Platte River, just east of the foothills of the
Rocky Mountains. Denver is nicknamed the Mile High City because its official eleva-
tion is exactly one mile above sea level.

There is plenty to see and do here in the Denver Area! Find some family fun activi-
ties, outdoor adventure or just do some relaxing with friends. Come explore the
outdoors and do some hiking or biking, go fishing, boating, golfing or attend an
outdoor event. Come grab a bite to eat or do some shopping, enjoy a live theatre show,
attend a sports event, or explore the historical landmarks around the area. No matter
what kind of adventure you’re looking for, you’re sure to find something here in
Denver, the possibilities are endless!

Health

Excellent health care…
Close to home.

Having good health overall is a major key to a long and healthy life. Finding ways to take care of
your health can aid in recovery and help you feel better daily. Get routine check-ups and visit your
doctor when you're not feeling well. Sometimes, it is hard to tell whether not feeling well is due to
a side-effect of medicine, a symptom of a health disorder or any other different health problem.
Talk to your doctor or other health care specialist for any other questions or information.
