Partners in Health – CU Anschutz and UCHealth, 6-2-2026

Dear CU Anschutz and UCHealth Colleagues,

Today we are announcing a new, collaborative marketing initiative that will highlight the unique partnership between CU Anschutz and UCHealth that brings world-class research and advanced treatments to our multi-state region, leading to excellent outcomes for our patients.

The concept is simple yet impactful: Partners in Health.

In areas that are explicitly tied to academic medicine and that are unique to CU Anschutz and UCHealth, including transplant, advanced cancer treatments, personalized medicine and ophthalmology services, UCHealth and CU Anschutz will jointly produce advertising and/or other marketing programs with the goal of communicating the benefits our partnership is delivering. 

At the heart of this initiative is our academic-clinical partnership – what sets us apart. Together, CU Anschutz and UCHealth bring the full strength of academic medicine to our communities, advancing scientific breakthroughs, training the next generation of health professionals and providing exceptional care. Grounded in the latest research and clinical trials, we drive better outcomes for those we serve while setting the standard of care. Through this effort, we will tell that story. 

We will share more with you over the coming months as we develop the co-branded initiative and build a landing page where our patients and the public can learn more about the benefits UCHealth and CU Anschutz – and our important partnership – bring to this region.

Sincerely,

John H. Sampson, MD, PhD, MBA
