About the Partnership

Partnering with Children’s Hospital Colorado’s Sports Medicine Center promotes health and wellness across the district. At Children’s Colorado, board-certified sports medicine experts only see young athletes. Because the team is specially trained in pediatrics, they understand how an injury may impact growth, or how growth might impact rehabilitation. 

The athletic trainers also offer supportive care in areas like sports nutrition and sports psychology. They are always developing new programs for sports-related conditions in partnership with other top specialists at Children’s Colorado.
