Coronavirus Updates
Normal life looks a lot different these days, especially in healthcare. But there is one thing that hasn’t changed at Children’s Colorado: Your child’s health and safety are our highest priority. Kids need great pediatric care as much now as ever, and it’s for that reason that we’re reactivating services we temporarily suspended due to the pandemic. We are here to deliver safe, thoughtful, high-quality care for kids who need it. Learn what to expect – and all the ways we’re keeping patients safe.
For ongoing updates, a list of open locations and how to get care virtually or in person, please see our coronavirus resources for parents and resources for healthcare professionals. For questions about visiting our locations, such as face covering requirements, inpatient visitation and outpatient appointments, please see our visitation policies.

For Patients:
I study children with stroke, and try to understand the mechanisms behind why children have strokes. Specifically, I investigate the potential of hypercoagulable and inflammatory biomarkers in prognosticating outcome and recurrence in childhood-onset arterial ischemic stroke.

For Referring Providers:
We are trying to use special global assays to ascertain which patients are at higher risk for recurrent stroke after their initial event. In addition, I'm interested in studying classification of childhood stroke since childhood stroke is a rare disease. All efforts to determine risk factors, treatments and outcomes need to be multicenter, therefore having a well validated and reliable classification system is imperative in studying this disease.
