The MCHS Foundation is the charitable arm of Medical Center Health System located in Odessa, Texas.
MCHS Foundation’s generous donors provide the resources necessary to add a margin of excellence to MCHS’s clinical and educational programs. Donor support helps to build new state-of-the-art facilities, purchase the latest technology, provide outreach to the community, and educate the region’s future medical professionals.
The Foundation also serves as the umbrella for the Children's Miracle Network. Children’s Miracle Network (CMN Hospitals) impact the lives of more children than any other children’s charity in the world. CMN hospitals provide life-saving research and state-of-the-art care for seriously ill children 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
CMN Hospitals raise funds for 170 hospitals serving children across North America, including Medical Center Hospital. Locally, CMN helps to fund:
• Life saving equipment for Medical Center Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and mobile equipment for ambulance and air transport of premature and sick newborns
• Continuing Education for NICU and pediatric nursing staff
• Ronald McDonald Family Room, which provides a respite for the families of children who are undergoing medical treatment. While providing many of the comforts of home, it alleviates much of the anxiety of being in a hospital environment. Families may use the area to rest, reflect, get something to eat and drink, shower or launder clothes.
Through philanthropy and volunteerism, the MCHS Foundation supports the mission of Medical Center Health System toward providing quality healthcare, education, and outreach to all residents of the Permian Basin.
The Children's Miracle Network mission is to impact the lives of children and their families through raising funds and awareness to benefit the children at Medical Center Hospital.
