The CCC is an ambulatory clinic that cares for patients who are high-utilizers of health care services. These patients usually meet the following criteria: 3+ inpatient admits in the last 12 months (or fewer if meet other criteria) Primary diagnosis of chronic disease (often end-stage organ disease: CHF, COPD, cirrhosis) OTHER THAN malignancy, ESRD, substance abuse, or mental illness. Patients often have these comorbidities as well: many suffer from housing instability, social isolation, chronic pain, low health literacy, etc. The CCC offers more robust staffing model with longer appointments, care and case management, intensive social work, integrated behavioral health, and in-clinic procedures/ medication administration and a wound care clinic. For patients who meet the above criteria and do not have a primary care provider, the CCC may be an option for them as their medical home.

Our nurses work a hybrid schedule with in-clinic RN triage/nurse visits and remote, from-home Hospital Monitoring. Hospital Monitoring is for patients who have been discharged from the hospital and either cannot get in to see their Primary Care Provider or do not have a Primary Care Provider. Our nurses follow up with these individuals to assess their progress, provide education and partner to prevent re-hospitalization. Examples of Nurse visits include: education (diabetes, CHF, wound, etc.), immunizations, med box fills, and provision of wound care.

We are located on the Main Campus on the ground floor of Pavilion G. Hours are typically M-F 0800-1700, occasional Saturdays (remote)/no Denver Health observed Holidays.
