Children's Miracle Network Hospitals
At St. Luke's Children's Hospital, we're dedicated to providing the highest quality care for Idaho's youngest patients. As the state's only Children's Miracle Network Hospital, we partner year-round with local businesses, organizations, and individuals who are committed to making a difference in the lives of children and families in our community.
Children's Miracle Network Hospitals began at St. Luke's more than 40 years ago, with a vision to ensure that children receive the best possible care, regardless of a family's ability to pay.
Since its founding, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals have raised more than $9 billion—most of it donated one dollar at a time by generous supporters across the United States and Canada. Every dollar raised through CMN Hospitals stays local, directly benefiting the children and families who rely on us.
Since 1983, our incredible community has raised over $30 million to support specialized care, life-saving equipment, and essential programs that make St. Luke's Children's a beacon of hope for Idaho's kids.
It takes a community to heal a child, and together, we're creating miracles—one child at a time.

MEET OUR 2025 CHAMPION
Sofia Rambow, from Emmett!
Sofia’s Strength and Determination are Unwavering On March 29, 2023, Sofia’s life changed forever when she suddenly collapsed, losing nearly all movement from the neck down. Rushed to St. Luke’s Children’s, she was diagnosed with Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM), a rare condition affecting the spinal cord and hindering the brain’s ability to communicate with the muscles. For a month, Sofia received critical care in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, during which her family witnessed the dedication and expertise of the medical team, who worked tirelessly to support Sofia.
In January 2024, Sofia underwent a nerve transfer surgery to help her regain function in her right arm, which had been severely affected by AFM. The surgery was a huge success, and within months, Sofia regained a significant amount of function in her right arm, a milestone that filled her family with hope and gratitude.
Though her journey is far from over, her strength and determination are unwavering, and there is no doubt she will continue to make remarkable progress as she continues her rehabilitation. Sofia’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of optimism, family, community, and the dedication of healthcare professionals. Together, we can make a difference and inspire hope and healing for all children in need.
