Kids are the focus

Broken arms, tumbles from trees, high fevers late at night?

The mid-February opening of a new pediatric emergency room at Sky Ridge Medical Center expands the medical services available to children in the Denver south area, easing parents’ minds and children’s fears. This newest entity of the Rocky Mountain Hospital for
Children at Sky Ridge is located on the first floor of the Evergreen Building, at 10107 Ridgegate Parkway in Lone Tree.

“We felt like children need their own special space where they can go and be cared for,” said Fara Butts, director of the Pediatric Emergency Center.
