Resource Connect is a unique program at Children’s Colorado that addresses the ongoing social needs of patient families, such as food security, legal services, community resource navigation, transportation, and more.

The Children’s Colorado Patient Aid Fund is available to support families with their basic needs while their child is treated at the hospital. Examples of these needs are food, shelter, and gas – all of which can be easily overlooked when a family is away from home and experiencing a medical journey. The McMahon’s created The McMahon Family Endowment which will provide a steady flow of resources that Children’s Colorado can supply to those who need it most.

We are so grateful for our new personal partnership with Ryan and his family. Their generosity will impact many patients and families when they need it most, so that those families can focus on the well-being of their children and reduce stresses and challenges.

Suzy Jaeger, Senior Vice President and Chief Patient Experience and Access Officer at Children’s Colorado.

“Natalie and I are incredibly honored to support Children’s Hospital Colorado with this gift, a first for our family. As recent first-time parents we wanted to help give back to families who are going through difficult times with their children. We hope this gift can help provide peace of mind to them while being treated at Children’s Hospital Colorado,” said McMahon.

Generosity from our community and donors like McMahon drive life-saving innovations and discoveries for kids and ensure access to world-class pediatric expertise for every family who needs the hospital. As a nonprofit hospital, community support helps Children’s Colorado care for more kids than any other hospital in our seven-state region.
