The campaign for Louisiana's Littlest

For more than 70 years, Manning Family Children’s has stood in the gap for kids and families in their most fragile moments. As the leading provider of neonatal intensive care in Louisiana and the Gulf South, we’ve delivered the most advanced care available for critically ill and premature newborns for decades.

Today, our 35-bed Level IV NICU is operating beyond capacity, as it has for more than two years. The space, technology, and infrastructure no longer match the excellence of the care we provide.

To change that, we’re launching a transformational project to define the next generation of care for our tiniest, most fragile patients. We’re making a bold commitment to build an expanded, state-of-the-art 60-bed Level IV NICU — one that fully embodies our mission and ensures we can always say “yes” to the babies who need us most.

Create a legacy unlike any other for Louisiana’s tiniest heroes.

Stand in the gap with us and ensure an undeniable impact that ripples out for generations to come.

Co-Chaired by Olivia and Archie Manning and Ellen and Cooper Manning, along with a committee of volunteers, we have launched a capital campaign to help make this vital investment possible. Your generous support of the expert neonatal care available only at Manning Family Children's helps make possible – more miracles, more birthdays, more first steps, and more bright futures. Join us and help ensure we can reach more families, save more lives, and continue to provide the highest level of care to every newborn who needs us.
