Children's Hospital New Orleans

What Children's Hospital New Orleans does

Children's Hospital New Orleans, operating under the brand Manning Family Children's, is a non-profit, freestanding pediatric medical center headquartered at 200 Henry Clay Ave, New Orleans, Louisiana, and part of the LCMC Health system — Louisiana's largest healthcare provider network. Founded in 1955 and employing between 1,001 and 5,000 staff, the hospital is described in source materials as the only comprehensive pediatric facility in Louisiana, delivering nationally recognized specialty programs across a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, a Heart Center, Hematology & Oncology, Neurosciences, Transplant Services, Orthopedics, Behavioral Health, Emergency Care, Pediatric Surgery, and Primary Care. Its service area spans Louisiana and the broader Gulf Coast region.

The hospital's core technology stack is the LCMC Health shared electronic health record and the MyChart patient portal, which supports appointment scheduling, medical record access, and bill payment. Beyond its inpatient and outpatient footprint, the hospital extends its clinical mission into community-based programs, most notably the ThriveKids Student Wellness Program — a partnership with NOLA Public Schools that deploys 30+ mental health and medical experts across 76 campuses and is funded by a $10 million, three-year American Rescue Plan grant from the City of New Orleans. Other community programs include the Juvenile Justice Intervention Center, the Miracle League adaptive baseball league, a Gun Safety initiative, an Immunization Program, the Parenting Center, Walker's Imaginarium, and a Ventilator Assisted Care Program.

Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed but are diversified across three streams: (1) clinical service revenue from patient care billed through insurance and self-pay across emergency, inpatient, outpatient, and surgical services; (2) government contracts and grants, headlined by the $10M City of New Orleans/ARP-funded ThriveKids award; and (3) philanthropic donations and fundraising events such as the Sugarplum Ball. Grant funding also comes from the St. Baldrick's Foundation (pediatric oncology clinical trials) and Humana. Marketing is conducted through the manningchildrens.org website, social channels (Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram), email newsletters, community events, and PR. The hospital is currently pursuing ANCC Magnet redesignation after its 2022 designation and earned Cribs for Kids certification in 2026.
