Why Give

Every gift matters: Philanthropy’s many possibilities

When you donate to Kentucky Children’s Hospital, you’re helping us recruit and retain some of the country’s top doctors and surgeons. You’re providing healthcare in the most underserved areas of the Commonwealth and the surrounding states. You’re purchasing the latest equipment and technology. And you’re helping us make children and their families feel at home during their hospital stay.

Better outcomes for children

We know children do better when they’re cared for in a hospital designed for their specific needs. That’s why KCH has the tools and technology our pediatricians need to treat young patients, as well as facilities specially designed with young people in mind.

The power of giving in action

Through charitable giving from individuals and organizations, we’ve added new and important facilities, services and programs to KCH. Some of the significant upgrades and projects we’ve completed with gifts like yours include:

• The Simpson Family Theater, where patients and families are treated to first-run movies and where families can create scrapbooks of their NICU journeys.
• The newly renovated $1.6 million DanceBlue Kentucky Children’s Hospital Hematology/Oncology Clinic, which has more than twice the space of the previous clinic.
• The Makenna David Pediatric Emergency Center, the region’s only pediatric emergency department.
• A new cardiology clinic and renovations to the hospital’s pediatric acute care floor and progressive care floor.

Forward-thinking research

Because Kentucky Children’s Hospital is part of a leading research university, physicians and scientists from the UK College of Medicine are constantly working toward the best and latest treatments for our pediatric patients. And because we’re a teaching hospital, kids across Kentucky benefit from our role in training many of the Commonwealth’s leading pediatricians.
