Through science, education and the most comprehensive care available, we meet difficult issues head on, find solutions and improve the lives of the thousands of patients we serve. During 2020, the world has been faced with a devastating pandemic, one that continues even now. National Jewish Health works at the forefront of this pandemic, doing what we do best, rising to the challenge. LEADERSHIP LETTER In 1899, National Jewish Health opened its doors to face a devastating infectious lung disease with no known cure — tuberculosis. We rose to that challenge, caring for patients in need, innovating and trusting in science, and persevering until we found effective treatments and cures. In the many years since, we have continued meeting the challenges of respiratory, cardiac and immune-related diseases that afflict millions around the world. We provide unparalleled care for our patients. We conduct basic, translational and clinical research to treat, cure and prevent those diseases. We educate and train health care leaders of tomorrow. In 2020, National Jewish Health once again adapted in the face of another deadly infectious lung disease — COVID-19.

  • Slipknot and Korn at Mohegan Sun – Prepare for Hell Tour
    Slipknot and Korn at Mohegan Sun – Prepare for Hell Tour On Dec 5, heavy metal titans Slipknot brought their “Prepare for Hell” tour to Uncasville, Conn., at the Mohegan Sun Arena with nu-metal veterans Korn. Slipknot has been around for 19 years (actively touring for 15) and Korn for 21 years. Two bands with that sort of longevity drew a packed arena full of a few different generations of fans. Korn had just about a 50-minute set, packed mostly with their older hits like “Freak on a Leash,” “Shoots and Ladders,” “Got The Life,” and their first breakthrough single “Blind.” The crowd was electric from the moment the intro tape started rolling, and stayed that way until after Jonathan Davis thanked the crowd after the last song. Being around for a couple decades and maintaining almost as big of a following as your heyday is pretty awesome, and being a huge Korn fan myself, I was pretty excited to see these guys for the second time this year. They surely did not disappoint, and having Brian “Head” Welch back in the band after an almost 7-year absence was great to see. They seem a lot more like the old band from the early years, stepping back from the recent dubstep metal hybrid mumbo jumbo they put out during Head’s absence. If you missed them on this tour, be sure to keep an eye open for the next time they come around. Touring to promote their new album .5 : The Gray Chapter, Slipknot took to the stage at just about 9;30, with an overly anxious crowd waiting for the curtain to rise, flooding the arena with “SLIPKNOT!” chants.
