When a child is sick, the last thing parents should have to worry about is how to pay for their child’s health care. Many of the families Lurie Children’s serves are already struggling financially, and medical expenses further strain their resources. This is why the hospital steps in to ensure that all children receive the care they need and deserve. Lurie Children’s is a critical resource for outstanding pediatric care, serving more babies, children, adolescents and young adults than any other pediatric hospital in Illinois. Their Access for Every Child Fund opens the hospital’s door wider so more kids can get the best possible medical treatments. As a “safety-net” hospital, we do not turn any child away; at present, 58 percent of Lurie Children’s patients are underinsured or uninsured. To parents whose child is receiving prolonged therapies or treatment for traumatic injuries, someone who shares their concern and takes away financial stress means the world. Join us in supporting the Access for Every Child Fund to ease families’ financial burdens so they can focus on what is truly important—their child’s health.
