Texas Children’s Hospital is committed to providing the finest care possible to children—regardless of their families’ ability to pay.
A legend in pediatric care, Texas Children’s is also a partner with another pediatric legend—Children’s Miracle Network. And together, we are creating miracles.
Children’s Miracle Network started 22 years ago as a small television fundraiser in Provo, Utah, and has grown to become the world’s leading children’s charity. It has raised more than $2.2 billion for the 170 pediatric hospitals in its international alliance. Texas Children’s is the only hospital in the greater Houston area to benefit from Children’s Miracle Network and devotes 100 percent of the funds received to its charity care program. Last year alone, we provided more than $21 million in pediatric care to nearly 15,000 needy children.
We invite you to join Texas Children’s Hospital and Children’s Miracle Network through the Chevron Houston Marathon and help create miracles in the lives of children.
Whether Texas Children’s is the “reason” you’re running or you just want to make a direct donation, your commitment to the hospital helps us serve the health care needs of underprivileged children and provide the very best in pediatric care, research and education. Every gift, large and small, makes a difference in the life of a child.
We are training the next generation of pediatric physicians and advancing the treatment and prevention of childhood diseases through groundbreaking research. As one of the largest pediatric hospitals in the nation, Texas Children's cares for the sick and injured children of Texas, the nation and the world.
