About Us

Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation (RMCHF) was created in response to generous contributors who wanted to provide support for many unmet needs surrounding pediatric patients and their families. The Foundation’s mission is “to make a difference in the lives of children and families being cared for by the Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children’s healthcare network. We accomplish this by providing direct assistance to meet their most fundamental needs and implement programs that improve their overall health.”

More than 40% of the patients at the Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children are considered economically disadvantaged, often uninsured and with severely limited income. For these families and others, the Rocky Mountain Children’s Hospital Foundation is here to help by providing for those fundamental needs beyond the scope of the hospital and insurance coverage.

Individual donations go directly to support the following Patient Programs and Support Funds:

• The Patient and Family Assistance Fund provides direct support to patients and families to help cover critical non-medical costs.

• Mothers Milk Bank Colorado – one of the top three in the nation – provides life saving nourishment for babies from Alaska to Florida.

• The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Fund supports families with babies in the NICU by giving car seats, diapers, blankets, clothing and other essentials.

• The Pediatric Hematology Oncology Fund provides support for patient events and activities to help ease the stress of the long and intensive treatments these patients must undergo.

• Our Wings of Hope program provides luggage bags filled with necessary items to parents facing an unexpected overnight stay with their child.

• The Stink Bug Project partners with the Prison Trained K-9 Program at Colorado Correctional Industries to provide well-trained, loving companion dogs to families stricken with life threatening illnesses.

• The Pediatric General Fund supports patient activities, art programs and events to boost morale and create a sense of community for our patient and family population.

• The Education Fund supports nurses with continuing education and training to improve medical care for children.

• Grant Making to programs and organizations that assist in accomplishing the mission of the Foundation.
