How does CMN help?
Children's Miracle Network
CMN provides service to sick and injured children living within a 34-county
area in southwest Missouri and northwest Arkansas. Those counties are
Benton, St. Clair, Cedar, Dade, Lawrence, Barry, Hickory, Polk, Greene,
Christian, Stone, Taney, Ozark, Douglas, Webster, Dallas, Camden, Laclede,
Wright, Howell, Texas, Pulaski, Phelps, Dent, Shannon and Oregon in Missouri,
and Carroll, Boone, Marion, Baxter, Fulton, Izard, Newton and Searcy in
Arkansas.
Special Needs Fund
When insurance, Medicaid and other agencies can’t help, the CMN
Special Needs Fund is available. This fund helps families with items such
as travel expenses, prescription medications, wheelchair rentals, hearing
aides, prosthetics and minor medical equipment.
Family Care Grant Fund
A family who has had a child hospitalized at CoxHealth may apply
for assistance with that hospital bill.
C.A.R.E. (Children Are Really Excellent) Mobile
The C.A.R.E. Mobile is a children’s clinic on wheels. It offers
basic health services such as immunizations, checkups, sports physicals,
treatment of common childhood illnesses and other primary care for children
from birth to age 18. The C.A.R.E. Mobile is a partnership between CMN,
CoxHealth and a family of supporters.
Educational Programs
Prevention of illness and injury is important for children and their families.
CMN provides two educational programs that are available for schools and
civic organizations.
"Wasted" is an anti-drinking and driving campaign presented
by former Cox Air Care nurse Laurie Miller. Laurie relays her real-life
experience as a flight nurse to convey the tragedies she encountered when
teens "wasted" their lives by choosing to drink and drive. To
schedule "Wasted" for your group, call us at 417/269-5437 or
e-mail us at [email protected].
Shaken Baby Syndrome is a tragedy. Parents, siblings, babysitters and
other family members must learn how to properly deal with a crying baby
by heeding the message "Never, never shake a baby." CoxHealth's educator and nurse Meredith Martin’s 30-minute presentation
teaches people to deal with their feelings and protect their babies. To
schedule a presentation, call us at 417/269-5437 or e-mail us at [email protected].
Life Saving Equipment
CMN works to ensure that the highest quality life-saving equipment possible
is available to area children. Each year CMN purchases specialized pediatric
equipment for hospitals, clinics, ambulance districts and schools within
its 34-county service area. To find out more about applying for a grant
to purchase equipment, contact us at 417/269-5437 or e-mail us at [email protected].
