Rose Medical Center was founded in 1945 by a group of Jewish community leaders who wanted to create a hospital that was free of discrimination.

Following a national fundraising campaign, the new hospital was named in honor of Denver prominent figure Major General Maurice Rose, one of the highest-ranking members of the military to die in the field of combat.

U.S. News & World Report ranked Rose #4 in Colorado and Denver Metro for Best Hospital and as ‘High Performing’ in Seven Adult Procedures and Conditions for 2018–19.

In spring 2016, the hospital opened a fully renovated unit to accommodate patients who need spine care, sports medicine treatment, knee, shoulder and hip replacements.

In 2016, Rose launched an advertising campaign featuring women who have received care at the hospital throughout their lifetime.
