“I donate to support UNC Children’s Hospital because their mission of transformational care and inspiring hope among all children and families of North Carolina—regardless of ability to pay—resonates deeply with me. World class care requires specialized equipment, facilities, doctors, and research. Philanthropy is necessary to fund all these areas and help children and their families in their time of need.”

Every child deserves a healthy start. Providing the best care for our youngest patients requires specialized expertise, environments, and approaches designed just for them. Across UNC Health, children and families benefit from a broad network of primary and specialty services—delivered by experts focused on the unique needs of growing bodies and developing minds.
Through a growing statewide network of clinics and hospitals, UNC Children’s is bringing high-quality pediatric services closer to home. Families who once traveled long distances for specialty care can increasingly receive timely diagnosis and treatment within their own communities, reducing delays and improving outcomes.
UNC is advancing what’s possible in pediatric medicine. Researchers are developing breakthrough therapies for children with rare and life-threatening conditions, including highly personalized RNA-based treatments that help to slow disease progression. Innovative studies are addressing critical gaps in care, from pioneering new immunotherapy approaches for complex food allergies to improving how serious infectious diseases are detected and prevented.
From rural communities to urban centers, these efforts are helping more children lead healthier lives—and building a stronger future for families across North Carolina.
Your support helps bring specialized care closer to home, accelerate pediatric research, and deliver life-changing treatments for children and families who need them most. Together, we can continue to expand what’s possible for the next generation.
