Gifts of Gratitude

The greatest gift is gratitude

At Ascension St. Vincent and Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital, we believe that the greatest gift is gratitude. If you or a loved one has been touched by our exceptional care or experienced a positive impact from our dedicated doctors, nurses or associates, we want to hear from you. Your expressions of thanks are not only appreciated, but play a vital role in the healing process.

We understand that saying “thank you” is important, and we’ve created opportunities for you to express your gratitude in a way that is unique and meaningful to you. By sharing your stories and personal perspectives on the care you’ve received and its lasting impact, you can make a difference with your care team members and inspire others to do the same.

The Ascension St. Vincent Foundation manages philanthropic giving for the hospital, allowing patients, families, and those connected to us to give back in a way that supports our non-revenue generating programs and services. There are various ways to donate, and our Foundation team is here to guide you through the options so that you can contribute to the programs and services that hold a special place in your heart.

Grateful patients

Meet Misty and Chase Monson, grateful patients who were saved through the quality and compassionate care they both received at Ascension St. Vincent and Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital.

The Kim family

The Kim family’s lives were forever changed by the compassionate, life-saving care their son Rory received at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital. Born with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia, Rory was placed on ECMO just six hours after birth and underwent surgery at five days old. Over 63 days, he received 160 blood transfusions and the unwavering support of a care team who treated the entire family like their own. “They didn’t just care for Rory—they cared for all of us,” shared his mother, Molly. Today, Rory is home and thriving, and the Kims remain deeply connected to the hospital that gave them hope when they needed it most.
