Our multidisciplinary Level I Regional Pediatric
Trauma and Burn Center provides timely,
comprehensive, cost-effective care for children with
single or complex multi-system trauma and burn-
related injuries.
We are the only American College of Surgeons-verified Level I Pediatric Trauma
Center in Colorado and the seven-state Rocky Mountain region. As a regional
resource center, we set the standard for pediatric trauma and burn care.
We treat children with traumatic injuries such as:
• Epidural or subdural hematoma
• Thoracic or cardiac injuries
• Solid organ injuries
• Pelvis or femur fractures
• Non-accidental trauma
• Burn injuries
We coordinate pediatric transport within our statewide and regional trauma
referral systems, equipping our dedicated 24/7 pediatric specialty transport
team with critical care air and ground ambulances. Our nurse, respiratory and
emergency medicine technician team is the only one in the entire multi-state
region offering high-frequency ventilation and nitric oxide therapies.
