Your Gift Matters
M Health Fairview Pediatrics’ team of trusted and caring experts provide the region’s most comprehensive, integrated care for children. We change lives for the better every day – but we can’t do it alone. With your help, we can offer an even stronger future for children across Minnesota, the Midwest, and the world.
Why Support M Health Fairview Pediatrics
We’re leaders in the science and art of caring for kids. With dozens of neighborhood clinics, a network of community hospitals, the Twin Cities’ top-ranked children’s hospital, and 2,000+ pediatric providers across more than 60 pediatric specialties, our nonprofit health system offers the most comprehensive and integrated pediatric care in the Twin Cities region. We bring hope and healing to the families we serve by caring for one child at a time, while advancing research, education, and healthcare on behalf of all children.
Through our partnership with the University of Minnesota, our legacy of family-centered pediatric care stretches back more than 100 years. Our nationally recognized doctors provide breakthrough treatments that aren’t available anywhere else in Minnesota. For example, we accomplished the world’s first successful allogeneic bone marrow transplant, the first infant heart transplant in Minnesota, and the state’s first pediatric cochlear ear implant surgery.
By donating, you can become part of a lasting effort that has transformed the children’s health landscape. Discover our difference.
