Skills / Requirements

This is a great opportunity for a healthcare PR professional to utilize their internal and external communication and media relation skills. St. Anthony Hospital is one of Denver's oldest and most progressive hospitals. The hospital was opened more than 100 years ago as a result of the determination of the Sisters of St. Francis who pioneered the development of health care institutions in the western United States. Today, that pioneering spirit is alive at St. Anthony Hospital at the new St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood.
