A Transformational Partnership
The renaming of Children’s Hospital New Orleans to Manning Family Children’s reflects more than just a new title—it represents a shared mission between the hospital and the iconic Manning Family. The Mannings, a name synonymous with sports excellence and community dedication, have long been advocates for improving the lives of children and families. Their commitment to pediatric healthcare will play a key role in expanding services, enhancing medical programs, and strengthening the hospital’s ability to serve children in need.
“Our family has always believed in the importance of giving back to the community that has given so much to us,” says Archie Manning. “Renaming Children’s Hospital New Orleans to Manning Family Children’s is a symbol of our shared commitment to providing children with the best possible care and support, right here at home, and for generations to come.”
A Bold Vision for the Future
For seven decades, Children’s Hospital New Orleans has been a pillar of pediatric care in the region, serving as the only freestanding, comprehensive children’s hospital in Louisiana. With more than 600 pediatric-trained providers and 3,000 dedicated employees, the hospital delivers lifesaving and life-changing treatments to children across a wide range of specialties, including cancer and blood disorders, neonatology, pulmonology, rehabilitation, behavioral health, and trauma care.
As Manning Family Children’s moves forward, the hospital is poised to expand its reach even further. With more than 30 satellite locations and affiliations across Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast, the hospital is ensuring that more children have access to expert pediatric care close to home. The partnership with the Mannings will support ongoing strategic initiatives aimed at improving pediatric outcomes and transforming child health at a national level.
The Power of Community and Philanthropy
