Healthcare Heroes Wish List

Healthcare Heroes Wish List

The Healthcare Heroes Wish List is designed to help people connect their unique passions and interests with meaningful giving opportunities, while highlighting innovative programs at NCH. We love recognizing our supporters, however, please know that we only publish donor names with permission.

Giving Opportunities

COVID-19 Response and Preparedness Fund

Gifts of any amount are welcome. Throughout the pandemic, NCH has incurred significant costs responding to COVID-19, including PPE, testing and treatment supplies, equipment, facility upgrades, clinical staffing and needs related to the well-being of our frontline healthcare workers. Our latest investment has been in special freezers that are required to store COVID-19 vaccines when they become available. Many of these investments are not only assisting with the current pandemic, but improving our readiness for future public health crises.
