Suzy Jaeger, senior vice president and chief patient experience and access officer at Children's Hospital Colorado, said the opening "represents an exciting milestone in our commitment to delivering exceptional specialty care to children and adolescents." Jay Albright, MD, the hospital's surgical director of Sports Medicine, said "growing bones, muscles and joints require specialized care," and that expanding access "to world-class pediatric orthopedic and sports medicine services closer to home" can help more children "stay active, healthy and reach their full potential."
