About Us
Our Mission & Vision
“Healthy living should always be the default choice. Today it isn’t. We’re going to change that in a way that brings the best ideas, values, information, science and medicine together under one roof. As America’s premier integrated health and wellness center, the Anschutz Health and Wellness Center will make a healthy choice the preferred choice, add quality to people’s lives and help reverse the unsustainable rise in health care costs.”
— Executive Director Dr. James Hill
The Anschutz Health and Wellness Center is an innovative, state of the art research, education and patient care facility located on the University of Colorado’s Anschutz Medical Campus.
Our mission is to empower individuals, communities and organizations to make sustainable changes to achieve healthier lifestyles so that high obesity rates and chronic disease no longer reflect the way we live as a society.
The new Center – with its wealth of expertise, world-leading capabilities and resources led by Dr. James O. Hill, a renowned leader in the fight against the global obesity epidemic – is set to successfully take on this unique endeavor and begin to create new models for healthier change.
