Changing kids’ health through Children’s Miracle Network partnerships

In 2022, more than 1,600 children experienced inpatient hospital stays at TMC for Children, Southern Arizona’s only Children’s Miracle Network hospital.

No matter the reason a child is here, whether a broken bone, surgery or access to lifechanging therapies, TMC for Children steps up to the plate to care for them with the most highly trained professionals, and leading-edge technology and programs.

This important work is thanks, in large part, to the generosity of our individual donors, national CMN corporate partners and local corporate sponsors who raised nearly $1.5 million in support of our kids in 2022.

Through CMN donations, TMC for Children was able to purchase dozens of fully-loaded Xbox gaming systems for our pediatric rooms. When a child is in the hospital, an Xbox is so much more than a game. It helps children feel comfortable and gives them a sense of normalcy. Playing video games can also provide distraction, which can help reduce anxiety and stress.

With this continued support, we can change kids’ health and change the future.

Corporate Partners

The TMC Health Foundation helped fund the NICU Operating Room with Children’s Miracle Network dollars, thanks to the generosity of individual and corporate donors.

The NICU overnight room also received a makeover, giving families a comfortable place to stay without having to leave the hospital.

Dr. Cosentino helped fund the renovation because she believes in the work TMC for Children does for the community.

“I think what we do at TMC is special and I think as a community hospital being able to care for children at the level we do and the quality we do is wonderful,” she said. “I am a big advocate for TMC for Children.”
