Together, we bring miracles to children

Miracles happen every day at Geisinger, where caring neighbors like you donate funds to support the care our clinical teams provide to children.

As a proud member of Children’s Miracle Network, we raise funds to strengthen the life-saving pediatric treatments, research, services and equipment Geisinger provides for children every day at Geisinger Janet Weis Children's Hospital® in Danville, Geisinger Janet Weis Children's Hospital Pediatric Services Unit at Geisinger Wyoming Valley in Wilkes-Barre, Geisinger South Wilkes-Barre's Pediatric Urgent Care Center and pediatric specialty clinics and Geisinger Medical Groups throughout our health system.

About Children’s Miracle Network

Children’s Miracle Network is a nonprofit organization that raises money to support care for kids at 170 children's hospitals nationwide, including Geisinger Janet Weis Children’s Hospital.

Your generous donation directly benefits children in northeastern and central Pennsylvania by strengthening the pediatric care and services our teams provide every day. 

Meet some of Geisinger's Miracle Kids:

2023 Miracle Kid, Ryan Everett of Mill Hall
Born 14 weeks early, Ryan spent the first five months of his life in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Geisinger Janet Weis Children’s Hospital. Philanthropy supported special equipment that helped him grow stronger and finally begin his life at home with his relieved, grateful parents.
2023 Miracle Kid and 2023 Champion: Laila Mattucci of Mt. Carmel
Born with craniosynostosis, a condition that can hinder brain growth, Laila required skull reconstruction surgery at nine months. Generous donations to Children’s Miracle Network at Geisinger funded ventilators and infusion pumps that helped her recover, and futons and recliners that let her parents sleep by her side. 
2023 Miracle Kid, Peter Swistock of Port Matilda
After a shocking brain bleed, Peter was rushed to Geisinger Janet Weis Children’s Hospital, where the 13-year-old underwent surgery and a grueling month-long recovery. Philanthropy provided special physical therapy equipment and a bed that allowed his parents to stay with him through fevers, therapy and recovery.  
2023 Miracle Kid, Mason Sharkazy of Beach Lake
Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, a condition that damages the lungs and affects breathing, Mason has spent many nights in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Geisinger Janet Weis Children’s Hospital. Donors help make her long nights more comfortable with toys, books and crafts, allowing her to spend more time just being a playful four-year-old.
