The N.C. Children’s Hospital prides itself on its commitment to provide the highest quality care to its patients from all 100 counties in North Carolina, regardless of their families' ability to afford the services.
 Unfortunately, health care is expensive. It is especially costly to deliver the kind of services that children with complex medical problems need. But that's why we're here. Our pediatric specialists are here to provide lifesaving measures to the tiniest of infants. We're here to help the child who's running out of time and needs an organ transplant or another operation, to give hope to the teenager with a rare disease that threatens his or her reaching adulthood, and to offer the routine care that improves young lives.
Our charge at UNC is to provide the highest level of care possible, cutting edge research and premiere educational programs. We take our mandate very seriously. The challenge is to find a way that allows us to be innovative and develop programs beyond what's afforded from patients' limited insurance and uncompensated care to children statewide. Simply stated, much of the additional personnel and equipment we need to develop new and innovative programs are not available from the financial resources we have. Instead, we have to seek funds from donors, grants, and other efforts, which is where you come in and why your contributions count.
