Funds raised through Children’s Miracle Network are earmarked at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia for patient care programs. These programs provide constant support for the kinds of services that truly make a difference in the lives of children and families. Support groups, creative arts therapies and social workers are all part of the healing process. These services are offered to every child who visits Children’s Hospital, and these are among the many programs that CMN funds help make possible.
The Children’s Miracle Network in Philadelphia is part of The Children’s Hospital Foundation, the charitable, tax-exempt organization benefiting Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
