Why you should give to Children's Health
Children’s Health is the leading pediatric health care system in North Texas. We’re a nonprofit that has been making life better for children for 110 years. As one of the largest U.S. pediatric health providers, we care for children in hospitals and clinics in the North Texas region and beyond. As the fundraising arm for Children’s Health, the Children’s Medical Center Foundation provides philanthropic support through partnerships with individual donors, organizations and corporations.
And for more than 60 years, we’ve worked together with UT Southwestern Medical Center to provide incredible health care for children. Together, we’re the only joint pediatric enterprise in North Texas with the depth of experience and breadth of specialties to handle everything from routine illnesses and injuries to the most complex care for kids.
Children’s Medical Center Foundation is the fundraising arm for Children’s Health and provides philanthropic support through partnerships with individual donors, organizations and corporations. All contributions to Children’s Medical Center Foundation directly support patients and their families, ensuring the best experience, best care and ultimately a fighting chance to get back to being a kid again.
Your support of research makes life better for children
Research helps scientists better understand diseases, chronic conditions and injuries, and can lead to the development of new medicines, treatments or approaches to caring for patients.
Philanthropy fuels new areas of research not presently funded by external entities; supports important, life-saving studies that are nationally and locally underfunded; and provides pilot funding that helps researchers successfully apply for larger, future grants such as from the National Institutes of Health.
Each year, there are thousands of active research studies at Children’s Health℠ that impact the lives of patient families. For many of these children, research is their last hope for treatment for their illnesses.
In 2023, donors helped us raise more than $8 million to launch and further pediatric research studies at Children’s Health. Your support remains the essential catalyst for facilitating new and innovative ideas for research to help us accomplish the incredible together.
We are incredible together
