National Jewish Health

What National Jewish Health does

National Jewish Health is a Denver-based, 501(c)(3) non-profit hospital and medical research institution founded in 1899, originally as a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients and currently the only facility in the world dedicated exclusively to respiratory, cardiac, immune and related disorders. It operates from its main campus at 1400 Jackson Street in Denver, employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people, and serves adult and pediatric patients nationally and internationally through specialized multidisciplinary care and clinical research programs.

The institution's clinical portfolio spans dozens of specialized programs organized by condition, including asthma (Cohen Family Asthma Institute), COPD, interstitial lung disease, sarcoidosis (recognized as a WASOG Center of Excellence), cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, pulmonary hypertension (Pulmonary Hypertension Association Comprehensive Care Center), lung cancer, sleep disorders, cardiac sarcoidosis, heart failure, immunology and genomic medicine, and pediatric allergy/atopic dermatitis. Diagnostic and procedural offerings include radiology (X-ray, CT, MRI, PET, ultrasound), nuclear medicine, pulmonary function testing, polysomnography, allergy skin testing, immunotherapy, robotic bronchoscopy, thoracic surgery, and specialized tests such as Nasal Potential Difference Measurement for cystic fibrosis. The research arm includes Core Labs, the Office of Research Innovation, a clinical trials program, and the Tucker Medical Library; an April 2026 study in Scientific Reports introduced a radiomics-based computational method for chest CT analysis that identified four sarcoidosis phenotypes correlated with lung function metrics. Patient-facing technology centers on an Epic MyChart portal supporting scheduling, billing, telehealth video visits and provider communication. The institution also operates Morgridge Academy, a Denver public charter school for children with chronic illnesses.

Revenue is generated primarily through patient care services on a fee-for-service basis, with publicly disclosed gross charges ranging from approximately $20 for basic laboratory tests to $7,225 for whole-body PET scans; services are billed across most major insurance plans, with financial assistance available. As a non-profit, additional operating support comes from research grants, charitable donations, monthly and legacy giving programs, and special events. Distribution is anchored at the Denver main campus and extended through affiliated respiratory institutes with Mount Sinai and the Jane and Leonard Korman Respiratory Institute, a clinical partnership with Intermountain Health Saint Joseph Hospital for advanced COPD therapies, and academic affiliation with the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine; an international patient program provides dedicated coordination for foreign national patients.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Hospital for Special Surgery: HSS is a specialty-focused nonprofit hospital that concentrates on a single clinical domain (orthopedics) at the highest volume and reputation. The specialty-hospital operating model and nonprofit status make it structurally comparable to NJH.
• Mount Sinai Health System: Mount Sinai operates the Mount Sinai–National Jewish Health Respiratory Institute as a joint venture. Both institutions run respiratory and immunology specialty programs serving overlapping patient populations in tertiary academic medicine.
• MD Anderson Cancer Center: MD Anderson is a nonprofit specialty hospital dedicated exclusively to cancer, combining high-acuity patient care, research, and education. Comparable to NJH in operating a specialty-only mission at large academic scale.
• Shriners Hospitals for Children: Shriners operates a network of nonprofit specialty hospitals for pediatric specialty care. Comparable as a multi-site nonprofit specialty hospital system with significant research and patient-care integration.
• St. Jude Children's Research Hospital: St. Jude is a nonprofit specialty hospital focused on pediatric catastrophic diseases, integrating research and clinical care. Comparable to NJH in mission-driven specialty hospital operation and pediatric program overlap (e.g., NJH for Kids, Morgridge Academy).

Broad incumbents

• Mayo Clinic: Mayo Clinic is a large nonprofit academic medical center with strong pulmonology and immunology services. It competes for complex respiratory patients who might otherwise travel to NJH and provides a benchmark for nonprofit specialty positioning at scale.
• Cleveland Clinic: Cleveland Clinic operates a top-ranked pulmonology program within a broad academic medical center. Comparable as a destination for complex respiratory referrals and a training ground for specialists that NJH recruits.
• Massachusetts General Hospital: Mass General is a Harvard-affiliated academic medical center with a large pulmonology division. It competes for international and out-of-state specialty referrals and operates comparable translational research programs in respiratory and immune disease.
• UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital: UCHealth is the academic health system affiliated with the University of Colorado School of Medicine, NJH's academic partner. Overlap in pulmonology, cardiology, and immunology services creates both collaboration and competition for Colorado-area patients.
• Cedars-Sinai Medical Center: Cedars-Sinai is a large nonprofit academic medical center in Los Angeles with a top-ranked pulmonology program. It draws West Coast patients who might otherwise consider NJH and operates comparable specialty clinical research.
