Ms. Hausmann leads Children’s Hospital Colorado, the top-ranked children’s hospital in Colorado and its Rocky Mountain region, providing visionary leadership to more than 11,000 team members across 17 locations. The hospital serving more than 300,000 children every year and earned a place on U.S. News & World Report‘s 2025-26 honor roll as one of the nation’s top 10 pediatric hospital systems. A defining moment of her tenure was her 2021 declaration of a youth mental health state of emergency, a bold advocacy move that resulted in millions of dollars in additional state funding, sparked a movement throughout Colorado and the nation, and enabled Children’s Colorado to increase its mental health capacity by more than 50% within one year, allowing thousands more children to access critical care. She was the architect of a five-year organizational strategic plan that accelerated innovation and expanded services to meet growing community needs. She also championed the launch of the Precision Medicine Institute, which tripled genomic sequencing capacity and opened an innovative whole-genome sequencing lab that is transforming pediatric care delivery. Under her leadership, Children’s Colorado has achieved exceptional clinical outcomes, including a 93.4% survival rate for the most complex STAT 5 heart surgeries, a nation-leading number of live donor liver transplants, and a significant expansion of sports medicine access, including the recent opening of the female athlete program. Ms. Hausmann serves on the boards of the Children’s Hospital Association of America, Colorado College, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce and the Global Down Syndrome Foundation.
