About National Jewish Health

National Jewish Health is the place in the United States where patients with the most difficult cases of lung, heart, immune and related diseases seek life-changing care. Our mission since 1899 is to heal, to discover and to educate as a preeminent health care institution. Through unparalleled, personalized patient care and groundbreaking scientific discoveries, patients from across the world find answers here that they could not find anywhere else.

We accept all patients, regardless of their ability to pay, as we have for more than a century. This is thanks to the generosity of donors who are dedicated to our mission of providing hope and healing to all, through advanced science and compassionate, personalized care.
