One of its primary funding areas is the support of nonprofit agencies which provide medical and psychological services to economically disadvantaged children and adolescents, thereby continuing the original mission of the hospital. As of September 30, 2007, it has provided $22,993,243 in grants and program-related investments to a variety of health care and social service agencies, as well as scholarship funds and medical research awards.
