Children's Miracle Network

Our Kapiolani doctors, nurses and staff reassured us all along the way. Kapiolani is special.” 

Kayley Coloma, mother of Leila, Hawaii’s 2024 Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Champion

Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children has been Hawaii's only Children's Miracle Network hospital since 1984. This means 100% of the money raised in Hawaii stays here to help our keiki, regardless of a family's ability to pay. Gifts to Kapiolani Children's Miracle Network support meaningful programs and services that otherwise would not be possible.

About Children's Miracle Network Hospitals

Since 1983, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMNH) has raised over $9 billion to support 170 partner children’s hospitals in the U.S and Canada. CMNH funds are used for research, training, equipment purchases, providing uncompensated care, and more. The goal is to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible.

How You Can Help

Every day, generous community members decide to support Kapiolani Children’s Miracle Network with individual gifts or by supporting our national and local partnerships and campaigns. Partners such as Costco Wholesale, Walmart and Sam’s Club, Ace Hardware, Marriott, Panda Restaurants, Credit Union for Kids, Diamond Bakery and more all participate in fundraising campaigns in Hawaii to support our local keiki. Supporters can also participate in signature programs and events each fall, including Kapiolani Radiothon for Kids and Extra Life.

Here are some of the ways CMN Hospitals funds make a difference at Kapiolani:

State-of-the-Art Medical Equipment

High-tech equipment is essential to providing the best care, but many of these tools are costly. Thanks to supporters like Walmart, Kapiolani Medical Center is able to acquire life-saving machines like the Neuro Sonopet, which is used in neurosurgical procedures to remove tumors safely. Donations to Children's Miracle Network help provide cutting-edge technology that ensures doctors can provide the highest standard of care for our most vulnerable patients.

Cancer Care

Your support is making a difference in the future of pediatric cancer care. Thanks to partners like Costco, the future Martha B. Smith Cancer & Infusion Center at Kapiolani is scheduled to open in the next few years. This facility will provide comprehensive cancer care, including chemotherapy and specialized treatments, in a supportive environment. Donations to Children’s Miracle Network help ensure that children battling cancer will have access to the best possible care and treatment when they need it most. 

Essential Programs & Services

Thanks to your support, essential programs and services for well-rounded care are available for young patients at Kapiolani. Many of these services are not covered by insurance but are crucial for the emotional and social well-being of hospitalized children. These include our Brain Station educational program, which helps children keep up with their schoolwork during extended hospital stays; the Playroom, where children can play and just be kids as they recover; and Ruby, the therapy dog who brightens the hospital with joy. All rely on contributions from people like you.

Every Donation Counts
