The Colorado Tradition
We are dedicated to excellence in pulmonary and critical care medicine. We also collectively strive for the best in science in order to continue to solve the many challenging clinical problems that face society in this country and throughout the world today. We are also tantalized by good fun in our approach to medicine and science and are particularly delighted by the opportunity to lead and be creative. This philosophy has been engendered by our predecessors, Drs. Waring, Mitchell, Filley, Durrance, Petty and Neff and enhanced by each new investigator who joins our program and therefore we collectively carry forward the banner emblazoned by the excitement of the rapidly evolving field of pulmonary and critical care medicine and science!
Denver
Denver is a great city with an upbeat economy, a new Convention Center, a new Center for Performing Arts, a new international airport, a new baseball stadium, a new aquarium, and a new football stadium and basketball/hockey arena presently under construction. The weather is outstanding, i.e., low humidity and 280 days of sunshine each year. Winter temperatures are mild and little snow accumulates in the city. Housing remains affordable although increasing and there are excellent schools in the area. If you fish, ski, mountain bike, camp, hunt, like Big Eight football or professional sports (Broncos [football], Nuggets [basketball], Rockies [baseball], the Avalanche [hockey]) and the Rapids [soccer] or just like an effervescent climate and life style, we would be delighted to talk to you. We personally guarantee you will not be bored with or disappointed in your choice.
