Free Care Campaign



Children's Hospital cares for every child even if help is needed when the family cannot afford it because of a loss of insurance, because a child has a chronic illness, or because the cost of care exceeds what insurance will pay. That is where the Free Care Fund comes in.

Since the hospital opened in 1890, it has continued to provide free and uncompensated care to families in need. Last year, over $31 million worth of free care to children in our region.

Please help ensure that no child from the region will go without care because of an inability to pay; support our Free Care Fund by using our secure form to make a donation.
