Our mission is to support the only hospital for kids in Mississippi, Batson Children's Hospital, where more than 180,000 patients receive lifesaving care.
Friends of Children’s Hospital began in 1989 with a group of dedicated hospital supporters who had a desire to improve health care for Mississippi’s children. Shortly after, they were asked to support a campaign to build a new children’s hospital. The support Friends provided to this effort helped make possible the construction of the Batson Children’s Hospital, which opened in 1997. Additional needs arose and Friends has continued fundraising efforts to this day.
"We elevate the healthcare experience for children in Mississippi to create HOPE, SMILES and a place where patients can be kids!"
