UMC Children’s Hospital is proud to be the region’s Children’s Miracle Network affiliated hospital…an affiliation since 1983 has helped to establish and continually secure the finest pediatric healthcare for all the Children of the South Plains and Eastern New Mexico region based on need, not their ability to pay. Since 1983, more than $21 million has been raised to purchase much needed pediatric

medical equipment, fund valuable research projects, fund education and therapeutic programs, and enhance the overall pediatric health of the 18 official counties of the Children’s’ Miracle Network Lubbock market. While these eighteen counties comprise the official market area for Lubbock Children’s Miracle Network, due to our advanced medical departments and our teaching hospital relationship with the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, patients are referred to the UMC Health System and UMC Children’s Hospital from a 108 county 350 mile radius.
