Founded in 1908, The Children’s Hospital is a private, not-for-profit pediatric health-care network located in Denver, Colorado, and 100 percent dedicated to caring for kids. Children's has been ranked one of the best children’s hospitals in America by U.S. News & World Report for more than a decade. In July 2005, U.S. News ranked Children's as No. 7; in January 2005, Child Magazine ranked Children's No. 7 as well, and called out three programs [the cancer program, the neonatal intensive care program and the Heart Institute] for their excellence.
With 1,130 pediatric specialists and more than 2,300 full-time employees, Children’s is home to a number of nationally and internationally recognized medical programs.
Children's is at the forefront of research into childhood disease and receives more than $30 million each year from the National Institutes of Health and other government agencies. Children's and its affiliates are responsible for virtually all of the pediatric research published in the Rocky Mountain region for at least a decade.
From medical breakthroughs to late-night fevers, Children’s provides complete pediatric care at its main campus and through a network that includes five community-based after-hour care sites, eight specialty-care centers, and more than 400 outreach clinics held in three states each year.
