Children’s Miracle Network

For over 40 years, UMC Children’s Hospital has partnered with Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) to help heal children in our region. When community members donate to CMN, they join a coalition of donors who change children’s lives here in West Texas and Eastern New Mexico, and donors can rest assured that 100% of donations stay local. These vital donations are the reason why UMC Children’s Hospital has the only Regional Burn Center that treats children, is designated as a Pediatric Level II Trauma Center, had the first Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, and the first NICU in the region. Further, state-of-the-art medical technology funded by CMN donations mean UMC Children’s Hospital is the most trusted choice for you and your family.

Miracle Mission

UMC Children’s Hospital is a proud partner of the Children’s Miracle Network (CMN), an alliance of over 170 premier children’s hospitals. Because 100% of all CMN donations stay local, UMC and CMN have provided state-of-the-art medical technology to the children of the South Plains and Eastern New Mexico.

UMC Children’s Hospital is leading our region in pediatric care. With the support of CMN, the Children’s Hospital treats children with all types of illnesses and injuries, including cancer, birth defects, heart and muscular disease, cerebral palsy, diabetes, and burns.
