Our commitment to community
Manning Family
Children’s understands that transforming care for children happens
beyond the walls of our hospital and clinics. Just last year, we invested more than $16 million in essential community programs that
are designed to support the health and wellbeing of our most vulnerable
kids and families. This commitment is amplified through public funding,
grant funding and ongoing philanthropic support which helps expand this
vital work.
Community benefits programs include:
-
Morgan Rae Center for Hope (child abuse pediatrics programs): The Morgan
Rae Center for Hope houses our CARE Center and Child Advocacy Center,
which provide clinical excellence in child abuse forensic medicine, along
with active treatment, consultation, therapy and support, prevention,
training, education and research.
