Philanthropist Tom Golisano has committed $225 million to six children’s hospitals, expanding the Golisano Children’s Alliance to 21 members nationwide. The six recipients are:

  • Children’s Minnesota (Minneapolis) — $35 million
  • Dartmouth Health Children’s (Lebanon, N.H.) — $30 million
  • Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital (Wesley Chapel, Fla.) — $40 million
  • Renown Health (Reno, Nev.) — $40 million
  • Children’s Hospital Colorado (Colorado Springs) — $40 million
  • Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt (Nashville, Tenn.) — $40 million

Alongside joining the alliance, each children’s hospital will rebrand campuses or programs to adopt the Golisano name. The network is designed to connect member hospitals for shared learning and collaboration, with the aim of expanding pediatric services and keeping high-quality care accessible to children and families closer to home.
