Your gift funds meaningful moments for families like Sophie and Leo’s

After Sophie and Leo were born, we were told that Leo, who needed extra support, might be transferred to another hospital. Being separated was one of our biggest fears. But thanks to the care team at WRHN – and the resources available at our local hospital – our family got to stay together in those precious early days. As parents, we can’t overstate what that meant.
Donors like you ensure families like mine have access to top-of-the-line kids care – right here in our community. And care close to home made all the difference in our story.

Behind every milestone is a donor like you — help another kid reach their next milestone today

When a child is in the hospital, the impact of their care extends far beyond their discharge date. It permeates every memory they get to make after that; it punctuates every milestone they get to reach.
WRHN’s children’s and youth programs see thousands of kids each year. And donors like you ensure care is there when a family needs it most, so kids can get back to being kids.
Each gift does more than fund equipment and programs. It makes every meaningful moment possible.
Give by August 31 to support the care behind every milestone.
