Not-for-profit healthcare system dedicated solely to pediatrics.

Children's Health System, based in Birmingham, is Alabama's only not-for-profit healthcare system dedicated solely to pediatrics. It is comprised of the 275-bed Children's Hospital, founded in 1911, and a statewide network of 16 primary and specialty care offices that are served by more than 225 physicians. Children's is a research and teaching hospital for pediatric researchers and medical professors at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. It is also the headquarters for the Regional Poison Control Center and the Southeast Child Safety Institute. Children's Hospital houses the largest pediatric burn center in the southeastern US, a leading pediatric hematology/oncology center and a kidney dialysis center. Children's experiences an excess of 600,000 outpatient and 13,000 inpatient visits each year.

Help Give!

*Volunteer: It takes integrity, teamwork and innovation to provide the finest pediatric health services to all children – and volunteers play a key role in this process. Volunteers provide services that might not otherwise be possible. They give their time so staff may work more efficiently.
*The Foundation: A hospital is no place for a child. We all would rather see children home, going about the business of simply being children. However, there is no question that when Alabama children need specialized pediatric healthcare, Children’s Hospital is where they should be – but only for as long as they must be. Going home, or perhaps being at home, is the essence of our mission and vision – we’re about getting kids home. And because you give, our kids get to go home.
*The Children’s Miracle Network: Children’s Hospital in Birmingham was among the first to join the Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) and has raised more than $34 million through its 20 years of participation. One hundred percent of money raised here stays in Alabama and goes directly to Children’s.
