Children's Miracle Network at St. Rose

The moment a child arrives at their Children's Miracle Network Hospital, a miracle is in the making. With your support, we can give more local kids the miracles they deserve.

Since 1983, Children's Miracle Network has raised more than $5 billion -- most of it $1 at a time -- for 170 children's hospitals across the United States and Canada, which, in turn, use the money where it's needed the most. These donations have gone to support research and training, purchase equipment, and pay for uncompensated care, all in support of the mission to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible.

Right now there's a Children's Miracle Network Hospital working to save the lives of kids in your community. In fact, 62 children enter a Children's Miracle Network Hospital for treatment every minute - that's one child every second. Some are battling cancer. Some are suffering from a traumatic injury. Others require constant care because they were born too early, or with a genetic disease.

Children's Miracle Network has raised more than $20 million for southern Nevada making Children's Miracle Network one of the largest contributors to the development of pediatric services in the Las Vegas Valley. Most funds are generated through donations from corporate sponsors as well as through special events such as the Torch-Relay Walkathon sponsored by Marriott and National Pancake Day sponsored by IHOP.

St. Rose Dominican partnered with Children's Miracle Network in January 2005. Since then, 100 percent of every dollar raised in southern Nevada, goes to St. Rose Dominican's Pediatric Centers to provide pediatric equipment, charity care, and health education for children. Your support of Children's Miracle Network helps ensure that children have the specialized care they need and deserve.

Our dedicated sponsors together with our hospitals, and media partners, make Children's Miracle Network the most effective, efficient, and compelling example in the world of people working together for kids.

Programs Funded by Children’s Miracle Network Donations

Quality Education Enhances Care
Being born prematurely and critically ill is traumatic. Fragile newborns are helpless, and frightened parents often feel powerless in the complex neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). St. Rose prioritizes minimizing stress experienced in the NICU and empowering parents as care providers. That’s why St. Rose Dominican Hospitals' partner, Children’s Miracle Network, recently funded a Touch a Life, Impact a Lifetime Workshop for all members of the interdisciplinary team that interact with tiny patient and their parents. The workshop led by Mary Coughlin, an internationally recognized expert in trauma-informed NICU care, emphasizes how team members can meet stringent care standards while also creating a more peaceful, nurturing experience that will benefit the entire NICU family in the short-term and over a lifetime.

Dräger Ventilation System
Neonatal ventilation is highly complex and challenging. Caring for the smallest patients at St. Rose is one of the most demanding tasks imaginable. For these infants, new specialized neonatal ventilator technology is paving the way home. To prevent pulmonary injury, immature lungs, and underdeveloped breathing, regulation mechanisms require extremely gentle ventilation, advanced sensor, and compensation technology. With community donations through Children’s Miracle Network, St. Rose acquired 6 new Dräger Babylog VH 500 ventilation systems to better care for these precious patients.

Charity Care
Millions of Americans are underinsured or go entirely without health insurance each year. Last year alone, St. Rose Dominican provided nearly $2 million dollars in pediatric charity care to Nevada’s families. As southern Nevada’s only faith-based, non-profit healthcare system, St. Rose’s charity care program is critical to getting the healthcare people need without regard to their ability to pay. This uncompensated health care, which is provided free or at a reduced cost, makes an invaluable difference in the lives of thousands of Nevadans every year. With donations from the community and our Corporate Partners, Children’s Miracle Network was able to transfer $1.1 million dollars of precious funds to the hospital last year for the use of pediatric charity care.
