Where Your Donation is Going
Children’s Hospital Colorado Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
For more than 50 years, our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) has been a nationally recognized leader in the treatment of critically ill infants. With 82 critical care beds in our hospital on the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, and 50 critical care beds in our hospital in Colorado Springs, we have multiple locations to serve critically ill patients from Colorado and across the country.
At Children’s Colorado, we care for any condition that affects newborns, regardless of how rare or critical. We also have one of the highest NICU patient volumes in the nation, providing us a deeper level of experience and expertise for a vast array of rare and complex conditions. Despite this increased volume and complexity, our outcomes remain above the national average.

Unrestricted gifts provide Children’s Colorado with the flexibility to allocate resources in the most strategic way possible. Just as health care providers in their emergency department triage patients based on the severity of their illness or injury, Children’s Hospital Colorado’s team uses the Children’s Fund to respond quickly to the most urgent priorities throughout the hospital’s healthcare system, ensuring kids and families have the tools, resources, treatments and services they need to heal. In short, the Children’s Fund is vital to the sustainability of Children’s Colorado.
