Children's cares for every child of the region, even if the need arises at a time when the family cannot afford it. That is where the Free Care Fund comes in. A family might need free care for a lot of reasons: a working parent loses insurance between jobs; a child has a chronic illness, and the cost of care exceeds what insurance will pay; or a child has an illness that requires experimental treatment.
Since the hospital opened in 1890, it has continuted to provide free and uncompensated care. In 1996 that figure was $8.4 million. In 2008, it was more than $29 million. 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.
