The Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Center is a division of Denver Health Medical Center, an integrated health care organization based in Denver.
In 1956 Dr. Winona Campbell, a pediatrician at Denver Health, founded the Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Center in a small closet of the pediatrics ward at Denver Health. Under her leadership, pediatricians on duty managed the calls using reference books and filing cards. With a budget of $9,000, the center answered 1,194 calls during its first year of operation.
Today, the RMPDC has grown to a 24-hours-a day, 365-days-a-year, call center managing nearly 400,000 cases each year. With a staff of 160 employees, the RMPDC is the primary resource for worried parents and others throughout all of Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Hawaii and Southern Nevada.
