Valley Ace Hardware’s customers step up each year to support our community and our children by donating funds that enable the Children’s Miracle Network to serve our children and their families. The Children’s Miracle Network is a collection of non-profit hospitals dedicated to caring for children of all ages. They rely heavily on donations to provide the best care for the neediest children because Medicaid and other insurance programs don’t fully cover the cost of care.

A few facts about CMN:
1 in 10 children in North America are treated by a CMN Hospital each year (> 10 million)
62 children enter a CMN Hospital every minute
32 million patient visits are provided for 10 million kids every year by CMN Hospitals

Our local provider is Children’s Hospital Colorado (CHC) in Colorado Springs, CO. CHC has over 3,000 pediatric specialists and more than 5,000 full-time employees to carry out their mission of pediatric excellence. They have been repeatedly recognized by US News and World Report as one of the nation’s most outstanding hospitals. It is known both nationally and internationally, not only for excellence in everyday care for children in the Colorado area, but also for its medical, research, and education programs.

In 2021, CHC served 298,500 Patients with 826,478 Inpatient Cases and 16,208 Outpatient Visits. These numbers include patients from every county in Colorado. 80 of the children treated at CHC in 2021 were from Custer County.
