The Community
Colorado Springs is a vibrant, outdoorsy city set at the base of the Rocky Mountains, offering world-class scenery, a strong sense of community, and a bright, sunny climate that makes it an exceptional place to live and work.
The city is anchored by iconic landmarks like Pikes Peak — America's Mountain — and the towering red rock formations of Garden of the Gods, plus a lively historic downtown filled with local restaurants, breweries, art galleries, and shops.
As home to the U.S. Air Force Academy, the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center, Colorado College, and Fort Carson, Colorado Springs blends youthful energy, elite athletics, and a proud military heritage that has earned it the nickname Olympic City USA.
Residents enjoy four distinct seasons — sunny summers, brilliant fall aspens, snowy winters made for skiing and snowboarding, and mild springs — with over 300 days of sunshine a year supporting hiking, biking, climbing, and running virtually year-round.
Just about 70 miles south of Denver, sports fans have easy access to the Denver Broncos, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, and Colorado Rockies.
With a strong economy, excellent schools, a growing tech and healthcare sector, and access to some of the most stunning landscapes in the country, Colorado Springs is a truly special place to build a career and call home.
We are unified around the common purpose of transforming healthcare to improve lives and we believe everyone has a role to play in that.
