Ms. Hausmann leads Children’s Hospital Colorado, one of the nation’s top academic pediatric health systems, overseeing more than 11,000 team members across 15 locations that serve more than 300,000 unique children each year. Under her leadership, the hospital has ranked among the top 10 pediatric hospital systems in the country on U.S. News & World Report‘s honor roll, including being named the No. 1 hospital in the Rocky Mountain region, with top 10 national rankings in cardiology and heart surgery, diabetes and endocrinology, pulmonology and lung surgery, cancer care, and gastroenterology and GI surgery. She has championed the hospital’s Precision Medicine Institute, which tripled genomic sequencing capacity, and its heart program, which reports a 91% survival rate for the most complex STAT5 procedures. In 2021, Ms. Hausmann declared a youth mental health state of emergency that sparked a national movement, and since then the hospital has driven a 23% reduction in psychiatric inpatient length of stay through quality improvement measures. She is the architect of a five-year strategic plan intended to accelerate innovation, improve outcomes and expand services to meet community needs. Ms. Hausmann chairs the board of the Children’s Hospital Association and serves on the boards of Colorado College, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and the Global Down Syndrome Foundation.
