2016 COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT
Investing in
Community
As a nonprofit pediatric hospital, Children’s Hospital Colorado reinvests
all positive hospital margins into the health and well-being of children.
This investment is often in the form of “community benefit”— activities
that went beyond caring for patients and made an impact on our
community at-large.
In 2016, we proudly reported more
than $190,012,653 in community
benefit activities.
Targeted efforts
To effectively focus these activities, Children’s Hospital Colorado launched the Community Health
Action Plan, which defines how we will address the six main child health challenges identified in the
2015 Community Health Needs Assessment, in targeted zip codes, over the next three years.
