When your child faces a health crisis, you need specialized pediatric services available locally rather than hours away. Comanche County Memorial Hospital Foundation funds children's services through the Children's Starlight Fund, including the Level II Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and pediatric equipment that delivers age-appropriate care for Southwest Oklahoma's youngest patients.
Pediatric care requires equipment scaled to smaller bodies, protocols designed for developing physiology, and environments that reduce anxiety for children and families. Studies demonstrate that hospitals with dedicated pediatric units see 38% fewer medication errors and 29% shorter recovery times compared to mixed-age facilities.
Your family deserves access to healthcare professionals and technology specifically trained and equipped to address childhood illnesses, injuries, and developmental conditions without the burden of long-distance travel.
