“Each year Rady Children’s Hospital provides care to nearly 300,000 children – and carries out nearly 100,000 emergency care visits,” says DeMaio.
DeMaio adds that in too many cases families do not have the financial means to cover the care needed for their child. “That’s where contributions from the community come in – to provide the funding for the best possible care for every child,” DeMaio says.
Contributing to Rady Children’s Hospital is not just covering financial aid, but helping fund medical breakthroughs in child healthcare. “By supporting breakthrough treatments through community contributions, miracles are happening for these kids,” says DeMaio.
