March 19 is a special day for us as the feast of Saint Joseph, our patron, is celebrated each year on this day. Inspired by his example, our caregivers strive to serve with the spirit of Saint Joseph, who teaches us to have courage and to follow what we know to be right in our caring for others.

As part of the celebration this year, we brought back the valued tradition of recognizing the first baby born in the hospital on the feast of Saint Joseph day with a silver cup and blessing from our Spiritual Care team.
The Saint Joe’s family welcomed sweet Olivia, who was born on March 19 and congratulates her parents Jess and Chase! We are honored to care for their family and blessed to have cared for generations of Colorado babies and families.

During Women’s History Month, we’re proud to honor the women whose vision helped shape health care in our communities.

In the late 1800s, the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth brought compassionate care to Colorado. Pioneering leaders like Mother Xavier Ross, Sr. Pancratia Bonfils, and Sr. Praxedes Carty helped establish hospitals that served growing communities and ensured people had access to care when they needed it most.

Decades later, as Denver’s health care needs continued to grow, sisters including Sr. Mary Pierre, Sr. Mary Asella, and Sr. Mary Keiran helped lead the planning for a new Saint Joseph Hospital campus in 1959. The hospital—known for its signature radial towers—opened in 1961 and continued the Sisters’ mission of caring for the community.

More than a century later, their legacy lives on across Intermountain Health hospitals along the Front Range. Every day, our caregivers carry forward the mission the Sisters set in motion: caring for people with compassion, dignity, and respect.

This Women’s History Month, we celebrate the generations of women whose courage and leadership helped build the foundation for the care we provide today. 💙

Saint Joseph Hospital celebrated the opening of our newly expanded cancer center, strengthening coordinated, comprehensive oncology care options for patients across Colorado.

Designed with meaningful patient feedback, the new center increases capacity by 25% and brings all major oncology services into one central location. Enhancements include two additional treatment and procedure rooms, eight new infusion bays (private and semiprivate), an expanded rehabilitation gym, an additional mammography machine, and a breast surgery clinic now located on the same floor as breast imaging for more seamless care.

“We built a space that reflects the dignity, comfort, and coordinated support every patient deserves,” said Sarah Pike, Oncology Service Line Director at Saint Joseph Hospital.

The celebration welcomed Colorado Lt. Governor Dianne Primavera, along with leaders from the Colorado Cancer Coalition and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, who introduced Colorado’s new Five-Year Cancer Plan. “This facility represents hope, innovation, and the very best in cancer care for our community,” said Lt. Gov. Primavera, who has personally faced cancer four times.

In 2025 alone, Saint Joseph Hospital provided care for more than 12,000 patients receiving cancer-related services, including screenings. “By expanding our space and capabilities, we’re better equipped than ever to support patients at every stage of their cancer journey,” said Kevin Dryanski, Oncology Service Line Director for the Peaks Region.

At Saint Joseph Hospital, we remain committed to delivering advanced, compassionate, whole-person cancer care to the communities we serve.
