PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center has been a Children’s Miracle Network member hospital since 1987. As a fundraising program of the Sacred Heart Foundation, the Children’s Miracle Network team focuses on supporting the needs of hospital departments and programs that serve infants and children at RiverBend. Through national corporate partnerships, fundraising programs, local annual events, and the generosity of annual individual donors, the Children’s Miracle Network program has raised over $28 million in support of local children and families. Every dollar of every donation made stays right here, at home, where our own children live and play.
Locally, the Children’s Miracle Network program assists more than 4,000 infants and children annually from the five counties (Lane, Douglas, Linn, Coos and Benton) served by PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center. This hospital is mid-Oregon’s critical care center for pediatric medical treatment and is the only Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit between Portland and Medford. Without PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center, children and families would have to seek pediatric treatment far from home. When you donate to the Children’s Miracle Network program, 100% of your gift is dedicated to ensuring quality health care for the infants and children in your community.
Much of our fund-raising is accomplished through community and regional events. Many have become traditions in the area. Learn more about our annual events:

In partnership with LifeFlight, the Neonatal Ambulance, nicknamed “Big Blue”, transports critically ill newborns to the Sacred Heart NICU – the only NICU serving our five-county region. With enough capacity to house two neonatal isolettes, thanks to Children's Miracle Network funding, the ambulance has the latest in life-saving technology to ensure the best possible outcomes for the tiniest patients.

Schools participating in the CMN Kids Helping Kids High School Pageants may apply for grants to help support their school-based health centers or other student health-related needs.
Fully funded by philanthropy, the team of certified Child Life professionals provide developmentally and psychologically appropriate emotional support for children and families that interact with all areas of the hospital.
