AboutThe Gregor Stoddard Lectureship is funded by a generous gift from Janie and Rick Stoddard of Denver. The Stoddards have endowed multiple lectureships and professorships at the Children’s hospital, and both the Section of Neonatology and the Department of Pediatrics have benefited from the wonderful speakers that have visited our campus over the years. Through these gifts and the resulting exchange of knowledge the Stoddards have improved the ability of pediatric care givers to provide world class care to children both here in Colorado and beyond.
