Inside the [Children’s Hospital Colorado Child Health Clinic], she and Daniel Nicklas, the medical director [and associate professor of pediatrics], rode an elevator up to a food pantry they are expanding.

The clinic forged a partnership with food growers at a 3,000-square-foot urban garden on the southeast side of the Children’s Hospital to obtain food.
