Children s Hospital Colorado at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, April 1, 2020.
Based on increased demand for behavioral health services over the past four months, Children s Hospital Colorado is declaring a pediatric mental health state of emergency.
David Brumbaugh, the chief medical officer for the hospital, said it s been unlike anything he s seen in his 20 years of practice. Our kids have run out of resilience, Brumbaugh said.
