Working with You to Transform Children’s Health

When a child is sick, we are reminded of how precious life is and are inspired to take on extraordinary challenges in order to find hope. Our teams of world-class physicians, nurses, researchers, and specialists are dedicated to transforming children’s health care. 

We are pioneering technologies and treatments that change families’ lives and are leading the way in areas such as pediatric heart surgery, cancer, diabetes, and pulmonology as well as neonatal care. We offer high-tech and high-touch solutions often unattainable at other hospitals. And we are committed to making the hospital experience as supportive and welcoming as possible.

You can help! Make a gift today to enable us to:

  • Bring promising research closer to cures for childhood diseases
  • Develop and offer more clinical trials for kids who need alternative solutions
  • Increase patient- and family-centered services, including access to music therapy 
  • Train tomorrow’s leaders in children’s health

C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital is the top hospital in Michigan and one of the finest in the country. Every day, we strive to improve and save lives. Join us in making a difference for children, families, and communities in Michigan and around the world.
