Funds raised through Children's Miracle Network are earmarked at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for patient care programs. These programs provide constant support for the kinds of services that truly make a difference in the lives of children and families. Support groups, creative arts therapies and social workers are all part of the healing process. These services are offered to every child who visits Children's Hospital, and these are among the many programs that CMN funds help make possible.
