I belong to a healthcare facility that wants to upgrade to Windows 2000 and ADS. Is there any reason why we could not implement DHCP and DNS on the same server?

No
I have setup a Windows 2000 Domain with both DNS and DHCP on the same server and had no problems at all

Many of my clients are single-server shops that have upgraded to Windows2000 and they run everything, including DHCP and DNS, on the same server.

Whenever possible, you do want to have a backup DNS server if you're connected to the Internet, but in these cases the clients usually have their ISP act as the secondary DNS server.
