**Children's Hospital Colorado acknowledges the continued access challenges we have across certain specialties, including Developmental Pediatrics. Although this is not unique to Colorado, delivering timely, high-quality care is of the utmost importance to Children's Hospital Colorado. We are aware of these issues and are actively working with our faculty partners, hospital leadership and Patient Family Access Center team to address these problems and increase access. We are diligently working to shorten our waitlist and are confident that our newly arriving faculty will help to improve access to much-needed clinical care. We recognize this will not be an immediate fix. In the interim, we appreciate your partnership to communicate this message to your patients.
