Children's Hospital Colorado (Children's Colorado) is an academic pediatric acute care children's hospital system with its flagship hospital located in the Anschutz Medical Campus near the interchange of I-225 and Colfax Avenue in Aurora, Colorado. The hospital system has more than 600 pediatric beds at its four hospitals located in Aurora, Colorado Springs, Highlands Ranch and Broomfield.[2] As Children's Colorado is a teaching hospital, it operates a number of residency programs, which train newly graduated physicians in various pediatric specialties and subspecialties. The hospital is affiliated with the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine.[3] The hospital provides comprehensive pediatric specialties and subspecialties to infants, children, teens, and young adults aged 0–21[4][5] and sometimes until 25[6][7][8] throughout Colorado and the Midwest. The hospital also sometimes treats adults that require pediatric care.[9][10] Children's Colorado is the only children's hospital (verified by the CHA) in Colorado. Additionally, the hospital has outpatient centers, campuses, and doctors offices around Colorado.[11] The hospital features an ACS verified Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center[12][13] and features a rooftop helipad to transport critically ill patients.[14]
