The Neuroscience Institute at Children’s Hospital Colorado provides
comprehensive care for developmental or nervous system disorders in
children. Our services range from complex neurosurgeries to cognitive and
developmental counseling.
Our status as one of only 28 Network for Excellence in Neuroscience
Clinical Trials sites in the nation allows us access to experimental trials at
the forefront of neurological medicine, and we’re recognized as one of just
13 pediatric multiple sclerosis centers in the nation by the National Multiple
Sclerosis Society. The Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy organization
certifies us as one of nine national care centers for Duchenne, the most
common form of muscular dystrophy.
Recognized as one of the best pediatric neuroscience centers in the country
