Each year, more than 70,000 children and families rely on the Emergency Department at Children’s Hospital Colorado’s Anschutz Medical Campus often during urgent and stressful moments. The current space was not built to meet today’s demand, leading to long wait times and crowded conditions.

Children’s Colorado is reimagining how care begins through a redesigned intake and front-end experience that helps children get the right care more quickly. This proven approach has already reduced wait times significantly by improving patient flow and reducing bottlenecks.

Philanthropic support will transform outdated triage areas into a more efficient, welcoming environment enhancing access, improving navigation and ensuring faster, more coordinated care for every child.

By supporting this effort, our community can help lead a nationally recognized model of pediatric emergency care bringing timeliness, clarity, and compassion to families when they need it most.
