Children's Miracle Network Hospitals at CoxHealth Wins National Award

Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospitals at CoxHealth was recently recognized with the highest per capita fundraising award for a medium-sized market.

The award is given annually by CMN National and recognizes the top per-person fundraising program among hospitals nationwide that serve populations in medium-sized markets (between 1 to 3 million people), including CMN Hospitals at CoxHealth’s local market of 32 counties.

“This award speaks volumes about the people in the Ozarks. Our local region is full of wonderful people who care about the children and families we serve,” says Tim Siebert, executive director of CMN Hospitals at CoxHealth. “We are mere facilitators who help generous people provide health, hope and healing to families challenged to meet their children’s medical needs. Thank you to our friends and supporters who make it all possible.”

CMN Hospitals at CoxHealth has raised more than $52 million since its inception in 1986. In 2024, the organization had a record year with revenues coming in above $3.1 million, an increase of about $589,000 or 23% over 2023.

The recognition and increased giving amounts from the community come at a critical time, Siebert says.

“As government grants are being cut across the board, we’re preparing for increased demand for our services as the need in our community is only going to grow,” Siebert says. “But just like we always do, we’re committed to delivering the care our local kids need, even if it means putting in more effort and digging even deeper.”

CoxHealth covers all operating expenses for the local CMN office, which allows 100% of all gifts and proceeds to benefit children in the Ozarks.

In addition to monetary donations, CMN Hospitals at CoxHealth also accepts stocks and bonds, real estate, personal property, life insurance policies, certificates of deposit, retirement funds, as well as bequests from estates. All donations help local children and provide a great benefit to families across the region.
