Antibiotic Safety Through Education and Awareness

Denver Health is joining with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to advise patients and their families to use antibiotics only when necessary to further reduce antibiotic resistance, the spread of superbugs and protect from side effects from antibiotics. During U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week and beyond, the CDC promotes "Be Antibiotics Aware," an educational effort to raise awareness about the importance of safe antibiotic use. In 2021, U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week is November 18 – 24.
 

With the 2021 opening of the Outpatient Medical Center Pharmacy at Denver Health, patients who fill their prescriptions at the new state-of-the-art facility will have a smooth and effortless experience, thanks to the latest technology and improved customer service.

How Getting Your Prescriptions Through the Mail Might Make You Healthier

When Denver Health expanded Pharmacy by Mail earlier this year in response to increased demand from the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we found that the benefits for our patients went far beyond the ease, convenience and safety of this important service. Using any mail order pharmacy service can actually help you improve your health and might just save your life.
