Endowments
An endowed chair or professorship is among the highest honors awarded by Children's Hospital Colorado and the University of Colorado School of Medicine, reserved for only the most distinguished senior scientists or clinicians. Endowments lend prestige, visibility and a continuous source of funding to the positions they support and enable us to attract and retain the best specialists in a field.
