Neonatology Named one of the country’s top centers by U.S. News & World Report, our Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit offers the highest level of care to more than 2,000 newborns every year — one of the largest centers in the region. We care for any condition affecting a newborn, no matter how rare or critical that condition may be. Throughout a visit, a baby and their family stay together in an environment we specifically designed to feel as much like home as possible.

That’s why we say, here, the rare is common. Nationally ranked #6 for heart care and surgery by U.S. News & World Report, our Heart Institute is one of just eight stand-alone pediatric heart research centers in the country. That focus on innovation leads to less invasive procedures, and our cardiac units provide state-of-the-art recovery and monitoring for acutely ill and post-surgery cardiac patients. Staffed by a group of highly specialized physicians and dedicated nurses, our CICU works closely with our surgery and anesthesiology teams, among others, to nurse these fragile patients back to the best possible health. Just a few of the reasons we meet or exceed the national average in: • Extremely low levels of radiation exposure in our Cardiac Catheterization laboratory NICU mortality, despite high-risk patient population ONLY Volumes matter. Children’s Colorado’s NICU is among the highest- volume centers in the U.S. for high-complexity patients, meaning we see more and treat more neonates with complex congenital conditions and severe complications of prematurity than most other centers. Yet our survival rates rank among the best in the nation. Our Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery Program 2.8% 2,000+ Neonates treated per year 100% 40 60 80 100 2020 Overview and Outcomes | 23
