As a CMN Hospital – the only one in our area – UC Davis Children’s Hospital receives all money raised locally during CMN campaigns to support programs, patient care, equipment and research. Sick and injured kids in our community can’t wait to get the care they need. And thanks to CMN, they don’t have to.

To provide the best care for kids, children’s hospitals rely on donations and community support, as Medicaid and insurance programs do not fully cover the cost of care. CMN at UC Davis has helped fill those funding gaps by raising funds, most of it $1 at a time.

MRI goggles
Lying still in an MRI machine can be hard for kids. To make the process easier and more fun, our MRI goggles allow kids to watch their favorite movie during the procedure.
Facility dog program
Sick or injured kids can sometimes be afraid of visiting the hospital for treatment. Our facility dog program now has four dogs to help lessen a patient’s stress or pain.
NICU webcams
When families can’t be at their baby’s bedside, they can still see their child on their cellphone or tablet, thanks to FamilyLink, our NICU webcams program.
