About Children's Hospital Colorado

Children's Hospital Colorado is one of the top children's hospitals in the nation, helping kids in Colorado and across the country. Children's is consistently ranked among the best pediatric hospitals by U.S. News & World Report and Parents magazine.

Our Mission

Founded in 1908 in Denver, Colorado, Children's Hospital Colorado set out to be a leader in providing the best healthcare outcomes for children. Today, our modern-day mission is to improve the health of children through the provision of high-quality coordinated programs of patient care, education, research and advocacy.

Patient Care

As a private, not-for-profit pediatric healthcare network, Children's Hospital Colorado is 100-percent dedicated to caring for kids at all ages and stages of growth. Our hospital at I-225 and Colfax on the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora was designed and built specifically to be the most healing hospital for kids.

Education

Children's Hospital Colorado is committed to providing continuing educational opportunities that will enhance and advance the pediatric knowledge of healthcare professionals across the region.

Research

We are always striving to find new and better ways to cure kids so you can be sure you are receiving the best care for your child at our facilities. Child health research is at the heart of our ability to deliver the very best care for kids.

Advocacy

Our clinical work may be the most visible part of our mission, but advocacy  is just as important to us. Advocacy is how we influence decisions relating to children's health policy issues, such as injury prevention and access to quality care. From providing immunizations and car seat checks, our goal is to help keep kids healthy and out of the hospital.
