Where the Money Goes

The great thing about Children's Miracle Network Hospitals is when you donate; you are giving back to the children of Abilene and the Texas Midwest. Each dollar raised is a dollar spent at Hendrick upgrading neonatal equipment, Hendrick Children's Hospital and expanding pediatric services throughout Hendrick Medical Center. Whether it is an unborn child or one who needs in-home care, funds donated to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals can provide medical equipment, educational tools or therapeutic toys to our children. These children are not only our patients, they are miracles.
