Memorial Hospital for Children was founded upon the belief that all children need a hospital just for them. Children’s bodies and minds aren’t that of an adult, simply smaller in size. Children have unique developmental needs requiring a spectrum of services geared toward them.

Through Memorial Hospital for Children, every child—from preemies to teenager—in Colorado Springs and southern Colorado has access to some of the country’s best health care—health care that combines quality with compassion and always involves families in health care decision-making for their children.

We are the regional referral center for high-risk obstetrics, neonatal and pediatric care. We also have the only Level IIIb neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in southern Colorado. The Level IIIb designation means we are fully equipped with the expertise and equipment to provide comprehensive care to those newborn infants at extremely high-risk or who have the most complex to critical illnesses.
