With the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation evolving daily, it’s especially important that we remember that there are many kids in our community who are depending on us for critical care today for ongoing illnesses, treatments, and injuries.

Nominated by their community and caregivers, our Patient Ambassadors have displayed extraordinary strength and courage in the face of tremendous medical challenges. Their stories of resilience remind us why it’s so important to support Children’s Hospital Colorado.
