Porter Adventist Hospital is a 368-bed acute care hospital located in the University of Denver/Harvard Park area of Denver, Colorado. It is part of the AdventHealth network and is affiliated with Centura Health.

Porter Adventist specializes in treating patients with cardiac care, cancer care, joint replacement, behavioral health, spinal care, and transplant needs. It is a regional referral center for complex medicine and surgeries such as kidney, liver, and pancreas transplants, open-heart surgeries, and cancer care.

In 2009, Porter Adventist was recognized for achieving quality care and nursing excellence by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. The hospital has also been ranked No. 1 in Colorado for overall cardiac care, cardiology services, and coronary interventional procedures by HealthGrades, a leading national independent healthcare ratings organization.

Porter Adventist employs 1,450 people and has a medical staff of more than 1,000 physicians and allied health professionals. The hospital is actively involved in community outreach programs, including the Kidney Early Evaluation Program and the Body of Knowledge Community Seminars. It also supports Doctors Care, a program that provides healthcare to low-income, uninsured Coloradans. Additionally, Porter Adventist donates medications, supplies, and staff time to overseas medical missions.

The hospital invests $40 million annually in charity care and underwriting medical care for the uninsured.

Porter Adventist Hospital was founded in 1930 by Denver businessman Henry Porter, who fell ill while traveling in California and received treatment at two Seventh-day Adventist sanitariums.
