Children’s Miracle Network is a nonprofit organization that raises money to hospitalized kids while increasing awareness of its member hospitals. All benefit CMN Hospitals contributions directly benefit hospitals, helping to purchase upto-date equipment, train staff, conduct life-saving research, implement outreach programs and provide health care for children whose parents can’t afford to pay. At CMN Hospitals, infants and children are provided with special pharmaceuticals and equipment engineered to work with their small stature. From the tiniest tube or milliliter of medication to ECMO, a formidable device that acts as an artificial lung outside the body, medicines and machines that help sick kids get well are specialized - and high priced. Skilled pediatric professionals armed with evolving treatments and expensive tools work to save more than 14 million children annually from life-threatening injuries, birth defects, cancer, and numerous other ailments. CMN Hospitals make these and other life-saving treatments available to children regardless of a family’s ability to pay. Page 3
