Why We Need Your Help

Children's Hospital is here because five young women had a plan.  They didn't let anyone tell them their plan was too big.  Instead they showed everyone that with the support of enough people, a big plan can become one of the best children's hospitals in the nation. 

We have another big plan and just like those young mothers, we know we can do it again.  We need the same community support they had to bring the big plan into reality.  The Campaign for Children's provides for the daily needs of our patients as well as a large facility expansion and three separate endowments.  Please join us in making this a reality.

Endowment for Excellence

Children’s Hospital has recognized a need to establish a hospital-wide endowment that guarantees long-term, quality-driven health care for our patients and their families. The solid base offered by a strong endowment will give future generations confidence to support, improve, and expand services whenever they are needed. The Endowment for Excellence will be used over time to ensure high quality medical and quality-of-life care for kids.  Donate Now»

Willson Heart Center Endowment

The most comprehensive pediatric cardiac care in the region is available at the Willson Heart Center. This program has deep roots, having performed one of the first open heart procedures in Fresno in the 1950's. The Willson Heart Center Endowment was created to ensure that high-quality medical and surgical care for children with heart defects is available in the Valley for generations to come.  Donate Now»

The Guilds Child Abuse Prevention & Treatment Endowment

This endowment will provide permanent support for the creation of a fully-accredited Child Advocacy Center. The program currently operates a clinic and sees follow-up patients and outside referrals. The staff is trained in both the physical and psycho-social aspects of child abuse.  Donate Now»

Paramount Farms Plaza

The Campaign for Children's raises support for the new West Expansion, a 60,000 square foot, two story expansion currently growing on the Hospital’s western skyline. The Plaza’s first floor will include eight new Emergency major care exam rooms and two trauma rooms. Children’s Emergency Department is connected to our Imaging Center, which will receive a third MRI room, a fluoroscopy imaging suite and another diagnostic x-ray suite. The plan for the second floor expands our surgical and critical care capabilities, giving us two new operating rooms and eight Pediatric Intensive Care rooms.  Donate Now»
