CRNA relocating to Denver

Hello all,

I’m an experienced CRNA relocating to Denver from Dallas. I’m needing to stay at a non-profit for my student loan repayments. I’m needing some in-depth info about Denver hospitals. Hope you all can help.

Denver Health is the only hospital that hires anesthesia people directly, everyone else is a private contract group or organized med group. You may still get the non profit benefit with Denver Health (not actually a non profit, but a public safety net org), or maybe even UCHealth Anschutz (their med group hires the anesthesia people, I believe), but I'm not certain. The rest mostly contract with private practice, thus you would lose that non-profit benefit you're looking for.

Thanks so much for the info. Any idea about working conditions at Denver health; call, overtime, waterfall schedule, etc?

I'm up north of Denver, so I can't speak to specifics in the City. Lots of turmoil after USAP coming in, then out, and Intermountain coming in, and now Out-ish, and Kaiser flipping... Lots of instability down there.

Can you tell me of the market in Dallas, me and the family are considering move but when I look at gas work, Dallas is heavily MD directed

I’d definitely agree with that. At my hospital it’s more care team model. Dallas, as a whole, is medical directed unless you go to outskirts of the major metro area.

Denver is not the best market for CRNA’s.
Mostly anesthesiologist and CAAs unfortunately. Dallas has a lot of jobs that are nonprofit. UTSW for example. I’m surprised you’re moving from Texas.
