Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals annual telethon to be held June 4-5


For more than 25 years, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals of CoxHealth has financially supported sick and injured Ozarks’ children and their families by helping with medically related travel expenses, medical equipment purchases and much more.

The 2011 CMN Hospitals Telethon is the public’s chance to become a part of the miracle. The telethon will air live on KY3 10:30 p.m. – Midnight, Saturday, June 4, and 8 am. – 5 p.m., Sunday, June 5. The broadcast, live from Cox South in Springfield, will feature the stories of many local children who have been helped by the charity. Last year, the telethon raised $1,374,521 despite the difficult financial times.

“We could not have asked for a better event,” said Heather Zoromski, director of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, of the 2010 telethon. “We could not continue to help families across the Ozarks without the donors, sponsors, volunteers and help from CoxHealth,” she says.
