2009 Kids First Campaign

Childhood is a time for playing, learning, exploring and growing.  Unfortunately for thousands of local children, childhood is not a pleasant experience.  Many children suffer because they are not able to receive important well-child care and immunizations or necessary procedures.  These kids need your help!

That's where Kids First comes in. Kids First helps local kids get what they need, when they need it, so they can move full steam ahead and focus on just being kids.  Working together, we can help tomorrow's doctors, nurses, teachers, lawyers and train engineers continue on the track to good health.  

Your contribution to the Kids First campaign will help your neighbors, friends and family members. 

The campaign has helped the:

• NICU provide care to families with infants in need
• Community Health Center treat thousands of local children
• George W.T. Bentzel Dental Center and Hoodner Dental Center improve the teeth for thousands of local kids and adults

• HealthConnect van provide important immunizations and preventative care and treatment to hundreds of area kids and adults

Helping local kids in need board the train to a healthy future

"This campaign helps children like my son Nicholas receive the important medical care that he needs.  The resources we received from the Community Health Center have been phenomenal.  Everyone at the center is amazing, and I am thankful for their support and guidance.  I would recommend the Community Health Center to everyone."
- Margaret Hinkle, recipient  

"What makes the kids first campaign really special to me is that it's the community trying to look out for the individuals who otherwise wouldn't get the care they need.  This really fills in the spots where otherwise they wouldn't have that support or resources available to them."   
- Matthew Howie, M.D., York Hospital Community Health Center
