Children’s Hospital Colorado has opened a new outpatient care clinic in Grand Junction.

The clinic is located on the first floor of the Primary Care Partners medical building at 3150 N. 12th St. The 3,100-square-foot facility includes 10 examination rooms, a pulmonary function testing laboratory and procedure room.

The facility consolidates a number of services, including those related  to cardiology, developmental pediatrics, endocrinology, genetics, neurology, rehabilitation therapy and urology.

A total of 23 health care providers in eight pediatric specialties work there.

The new location is the 15th in the state for Children’s Hospital Colorado.

“It is a part of our mission to provide the highest level of pediatric care to kids close to home,” said Suzy Jaeger, senior vice president and chief patient experience and access officer for Children’s Hospital Colorado. “We are committed to providing specialized pediatric-only care in all of the communities we serve. It’s with tremendous excitement we are able to expand our clinics and bring them under one roof for kids along the Western Slope in Grand Junction to make it easier and safer for parents to get their kids the medical care they need and deserve close to home.”

Dr. Benjamin Hughes, a pediatric pulmonologist and sleep medicine physician with Children’s Hospital Colorado, said he’s lived in Grand Junction five years and observed the need for expanded specialty pediatric care.

“I’ve been a provider with Children’s Colorado for 14 years, so not only is the opening of our newest location near and dear to my heart, but it’s a mission I am extremely proud to be a part of,” Hughes said. “I’m especially excited to see more specialties available to kids in our community who deserve the best specialty care in their own backyard.”
