Charitable works
Parker Adventist Hospital draws on the model set by the healing ministry of Jesus, to extend this healing ministry to care for those most in need. The nonprofit hospital and its foundation, the Parker Hospital Foundation, offers a variety of charitable programs:
- Adoption Support program, which offers free classes to loving families wishing to adopt, and also offers support during the adoption process.
- Equestrian Helmets program, which strives to reduce head injuries (which make up 60 percent of equestrian-related deaths) by providing free community safety seminars and helmets for young equestrians in the community.
- Healing Arts program, which uses the arts to help patients renew and enhance their mind, body, and spirit. This program offers services like massage and music, as well as nature walks and art in each hospital room, to help patients and community members to relax and feel better.
Colorado charitable events
Parker hospital offers annual charitable events like golf tournaments and art galas, in which Denver and Parker community members come together to give back. Last year, the hospital held a Heart of Hearts Gala at Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum. The event raised over $300,000 for breast cancer care and neurology at nearby hospitals. This year, the hospital is hosting a charitable Parker Golf Classic at the Colorado Golf Club, to raise money for the Emergency and Trauma Services department.
To celebrate 10 years of serving the Parker and Denver communities, the hospital, in conjunction with the Town of Parker, created an outdoor fitness path along the Sulphur Gulch Trail (a little south of Town Hall).
Parker community seminars
Parker Adventist Hospital is committed to community service, and offers a variety of free seminars to give back to the Denver/Parker community. The hospital offers frequent seminars on parenthood, from teaching expecting mothers the best breastfeeding techniques, to helping parents prepare their children for the arrival of a sibling. The hospital also offers free seminars on chronic ear problems such as hearing loss, and on joint replacement.

History of our BMCC practice
The Bariatric and Metabolic Center of Colorado launched the Parker Adventist Hospital Bariatric Center of Excellence (COE) in 2010 for the hospital. Our practice has helped hundreds of patients to lose weight and keep it off with bariatric surgery, and we conduct regular free seminars on weight loss and health for the Denver/Parker community.
Dr. Long came to the BMCC in 2012, and under his direction as Medical Director of Bariatric surgery at Parker Adventist Hospital, the hospital has reached new heights in terms of excellence of care. Under Dr. Long’s leadership, the BMCC consistently ranks in the 99th percentile of patient satisfaction. Dr. Long and the BMCC also have a nationally recognized footprint and have been awarded national honors. Dr. Long serves as a national COE bariatric site reviewer as well as a co-author for the national Obesity Algorithm through the Obesity Medical Association (OMA). Additionally, Parker has been recognized as a best practices facility by the MBSAQIP.
Our mission is to help patients who are struggling with obesity to find meaningful long-term weight loss and recapture their health. That’s why we offer bariatric surgery as well as a number of other non-surgical weight loss solutions, so we can meet you at your point of need. We work hard to make your weight loss journey as safe and effective as humanly possible, and our patients see amazing results.
