Global and Denver Health Launch Pilot Adult Down Syndrome Clinic

We are pleased to announce, that after three years of hard work, Global and Denver Health have joined forces to organize a pilot clinic which aims to provide excellent medical care to adults with Down syndrome.

The clinic has recruited two Down syndrome experts– Dr. Barry Martin, MD and Bryn Gelaro, LSW– to address medical and behavioral health on Wednesdays at the Denver Health Federico F. Peña Southwest Family Health Center and Urgent Care. We are excited to share that this pilot clinic will open on June 27th.

During the pilot period, which will end in December, we have the opportunity to prove the need for an excellent quality medical care center specifically for adults with Down syndrome. If we are able to easily fill appointments between Jun and December there is a high likelihood we could establish a “permanent” Down syndrome clinic for adults. So make your appointment today and help us ensure a healthier future for our adults!

Thanks to our amazing families and to Denver Health for this opportunity to further fulfill our mission! And a special thanks to Dr. Dennis McGuire, LCSW for his invaluable guidance and advice.
