The Children's Hospital Colorado policy encourages transition to adult care no later than a patient's 22nd birthday. However, there are some circumstances in which we may recommend continuing care with us as an adult.

A children's hospital is a hospital that offers its services exclusively to infants, children, adolescents, and young adults from birth up to until age 18, and through age 21 and older in the United States. In certain special cases, they may also treat adults.

There is no age limit for seeing a pediatrician Originally defined as age 18, raised to age 21 in the 1960s, the upper age limit for pediatric care was eliminated by the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2017. The rationale: Transition to adult care should be specific to patient needs, not an arbitrary number.

The first formally recognized paediatrics hospital was the Hôpital des Enfants Malades in Paris, France, which opened in 1802.

The hospital features 485 pediatric beds and provides comprehensive pediatric specialties and subspecialties to infants, children, teens, and young adults aged 0–21 throughout Massachusetts, the United States, and the world.

We provide 24-hour emergency care for infants, children and young children from birth through to 16 years of age, and support young people up to 18 years with pre-existing chronic conditions and mental health conditions who need urgent medical attention.
