In 1986, AHN Saint Vincent became this region’s Children’s Miracle Network Hospital, and 37 years later, it is still at the forefront of neonatal and pediatric care. As your Children’s Miracle Network Hospital, AHN Saint Vincent is committed to providing the highest level of care to every child regardless of the family’s ability to pay.
Meet our 2024 Miracle Child Everly
At 24 weeks, Derek and Carlie welcomed twins Everly and Jameson. They were born weighing 2lb. 7oz. and 2lb. 4oz. Due to complications from Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, Jameson went into cardiac arrest and passed away at two days old. Everly remained on oxygen in the neonatal intensive care unit. She had bradycardia episodes, bowel issues, Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA), and a feeding tube for the first two months of her life.
At three months old, Everly was strong enough to head home weighing 7lbs! Because of her prematurity, she has had several procedures including surgery to close her PDA, tubes in her ears, and a hernia repair. Everly doesn’t let asthma slow her down. Derek and Carlie say, “She is a healthy 5-year-old kindergartner. She is spunky and full of sass. She is our little miracle!”
Like Everly, thousands of children have survived and thrived because of the more than $4 million raised by individuals and corporate partners. Every dollar raised stays local to help tiny patients at AHN Saint Vincent. Because of your support, Children's Miracle Network can continue providing lifesaving equipment to help children come home healthy to their families, who are forever grateful.
