About the Children's Hospital Foundation

Kosair Children's Hospitalis not-for-profit and relies on the generosity of the community to support programs, hospital improvements, education and advocacy. Kosair Children's Hospital treats children regardless of their family's ability to pay. As the number of children needing help at Kosair Children's Hospital continues to increase, so does the need to stay up to date on medical advances and technologies.
Children are not just small adults. Kosair Children's Hospital treats children from birth to age 18. We know that children require smaller equipment, different medications, and sometimes, even different doctors. Our clinical staff is trained to provide the special kind of care children need and deserve.
Access to health care is very important to a community's quality of life. Having a full-service pediatric hospital is important to the region's economy as governmental leaders seek to attract new businesses, and, in turn, those employers attract new employees.
Children's hospitals across the country are facing a shortage of pediatric specialists. Those with access to greater resources to provide funding for equipment and research also tend to have greater interest from specialists. Having these specialists at Kosair Children's Hospital means that families do not have to travel out of the region when their children need medical care.
