“We are so grateful for our ongoing partnership with YMCA of Metro Denver, which allows Children’s Hospital Colorado to extend support of our mission outside the walls of our hospital. We cherish our community partners like the YMCA, especially their dedication to programs focused on building a healthy child from the inside out. Since our partnership started in 2022, more children have been introduced to general health and wellness resources through Healthy Kids Day in addition to resources at our Sports Medicine Center providing state-of-the-art treatment with pediatric experts, including doctors, athletic trainers, physical therapists, dietitians and other specialists.”

--Christy Dobson, Vice President, Board and Community Relations at Children’s Colorado. 

In December, we shared with members and participants a change that included passing on a surcharge for accounts that use credit cards for processing their payments. To clarify, these surcharges will only apply to credit cards, not debit cards or gift cards. This change has been postponed and we will update members and participants when it goes into effect. At any time, you can access your YMCA Account and update your payment method on file. Here’s how.
