Our Children's Miracle Network Partner, Walmart, kicks off their national campaign today! 💙💛

Every year, Walmarts locations across the Big Country help us invest local dollars into Hendrick Children's Hospital to ensure all kiddos in our region have access to excellent and compassionate care. Last week, we were able to give several Walmart team members a tour of Hendrick Children's Hospital so they can see firsthand the incredible work done daily to keep our local children healthy and thriving.

In honor of this being the last week of school for many Abilene-area public schools, we want to give a big shout-out to the "Kind Club" from Wylie West Junior High School - Abilene, TX.

Just like our friends with the Legends Dove Hunt, these amazing kiddos were inspired to give back and spread some joy to patients at Hendrick Children's Hospital. The Kind Club created custom care packages for kids in our hospital, along with notes of encouragement and prayers of support.

Thank you, Kind Club! And we hope that you and all your friends have a safe, fun and healthy summer!
