ARC-F Mission:
to support the research at ARC

ARC Mission:
to study the impact of low oxygen (hypoxia)

The focus at ARC is on research, but we also provide education and clinical services to promote the health and well-being of people living, working or traveling to high altitudes, and those suffering from an oxygen-depriving disease at low altitudes.

Research

Projects are under way to explore how altitude and other low oxygen states affect the human body, applying new tools such as genomics and state-of-the-art imaging techniques. More about our research...

Education

An important goal is to share and disseminate the knowledge available at ARC by offering training to health care providers in treating high altitude associated illnesses. Also, we think it is very important to teach Colorado residents and visitors about how to live in better harmony with the stresses altitude imposes. More about our educational program...
