Story
Children's of Mississippi is the only hospital in the state dedicated to caring exclusively for children. Although our providers are offering world-class care, they are in a facility that lacks adequate space and is often at capacity. Critical imaging is done in the adult hospital on oversized equipment. The NICU cares for nearly 100 babies in a space designed for 30. Children recovering from surgery are in an open ward where parents have little room to be beside them.
In 2016, we launched a Growing Campaign to expand Children's of Mississippi. The funds raised will provide an advanced facility with 88 private NICU rooms, 32 private pediatric ICU rooms, and a dedicated imaging area for children. To date, more than 84% of our $100 million philanthropic goal has been raised, made possible only by generous community members who recognize the critical needs that exist. Please join us as we help ensure that every child in Mississippi will have the chance to heal, grow, and thrive close to home.
