Children's Hospital Colorado

Location update

We’re currently seeing a high number of patients with respiratory viruses in our emergency rooms and urgent care locations. Medical-grade masks are strongly recommended. Please note that some families with less urgent health concerns may experience longer wait times.  

The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders and Infusion Center at our Anschutz Medical Campus location will be undergoing updates from July 2023 through late 2024. During this time, the Infusion Center and sedation clinic will be temporarily relocated, and some appointments will be moved to other locations. Please check your appointment confirmation in advance of your visit and call 720-777-6740 with any questions.

The T(w)een Zone on Anschutz Medical Campus

The Patricia Crown Family T(w)een Zone is a safe, therapeutic healing environment designed to meet the needs of our teen and “tween” patients and their families. Under the guidance and expertise of our Child Life Staff the T(w)een Zone is a special space that allows patients to be themselves and to foster peer relationships. The T(w)een Zone was recently fully renovated thanks to a generous donation from Teammates for Kids.

The T(w)een Zone is a space just for tweens and teens (kids 10 years and older who are not on isolation precautions) at Children’s Colorado on the Anschutz Medical Campus. Patients and their siblings or friends can enjoy this state-of-the-art, 3,000-square-foot lounge that offers a variety of activities.
