Kids can’t wait for the pandemic to end to get the care they need. They need help now. Recent rises in hospitalizations and COVID-19 cases are greatly reducing the ability of children’s hospitals like ours to provide care for the kids they serve. On top of needing care relative to the pandemic, everyday life happens with broken bones, other respiratory illnesses, long-term patient care for kids with cancer or transplants and the moments in between.
We need your help now more than ever. Will you join us?
