The Denver Health Foundation will host the fourth annual Paramedics Awards Celebration on Tuesday, May 10 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Denver Center for Performing Arts’ Seawell Ballroom.
Since last July, documents, emails and veteran paramedics have questioned life and death decisions made in the Denver Health paramedics division and, more specifically, the culture of pressure that forces those decisions.
For more than a year, the Denver7 Investigates team has examined critical decisions made by the Denver Health Paramedics Division. This 30-minute special report covers reporting from multiple angles into an issue that more than a half dozen veteran paramedics said “must be investigated."
A third former Denver Health paramedic has come forward and is telling Denver7 Investigates on camera that she was also pressured to bypass closer level-one trauma centers and bring critically injured patients back to Denver Health.
