Lutheran Hospital is a community-based, acute-care hospital in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Lutheran Hospital began in 1905 as the Evangelical Lutheran Sanitarium, a tent colony for tuberculosis patients. As medical advances diminished the demand for tuberculosis treatment, community leaders decided the center should meet a new need.

Community-based Lutheran Hospital, a not-for-profit, general medical facility located on a 100-acre campus, opened its doors in 1961. Construction of the six-story replacement hospital began in 2021, culminating in a state-of-the-art facility designed to support exceptional patient care, innovation, and growth. The new Lutheran Hospital campus at Clear Crossing in Wheat Ridge opened on August 3, 2024, and represents the future of healthcare in Denver's western suburbs.
