Dear Friends,
As we reflect on the journey of Children’ s Hospital Colorado from“ then” to“ now,” one truth shines brightly: you have made all the difference.
More than a century ago, our pediatric hospital was founded with dreams of expanding care and creating healing spaces where children could thrive. That was then, and now, thanks to your unwavering belief and generosity, many of those dreams are reality.
From state-of-the-art clinical care to cutting-edge research and comforting family spaces, your support has transformed experiences and outcomes for our patients and the clinicians who care for them.
The Difference is You
Because of you, a child diagnosed with a rare condition now has access to genetic testing and treatment closer to home. Because of you, our clinicians rely on the latest technologies to deliver compassionate care. Because of you, a family facing the unimaginable finds hope and strength in a place that’ s clearly different.
Your confidence in our mission fuels everything we do. Whether you’ ve supported us for many years or joined our community recently, your impact is profound and lasting. Every gift and every act of support helps us move forward.
On behalf of our entire team and the countless children whose lives you’ ve touched, thank you. We hope you enjoy this issue of Changemakers and are honored by your partnership and inspired by your commitment to a healthier future for children.
With heartfelt gratitude,
JENNIFER ROE DARLING PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
