To help provide the best care, CMN Hospitals relies on donations and community support, as Medicaid and insurance programs don’t fully cover the cost of care. “Corporate partner programs like the Give Brighter Miracles plan help raise critical funds to support our programs and initiatives that will benefit our network hospitals.” said John Lauck, President and CEO, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. “We are proud to have Direct Energy as a corporate partner for the past 5 years and thankful for the more than $4 million they have donated.” This plan is available in CenterPoint, Oncor and TNMP utility service areas, which include the Houston and Dallas metro areas. Donations will be made on behalf of Direct Energy customers to local CMN Hospitals: Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, Cook Children’s Hospital in Fort Worth and Children’s Medical Center in Dallas.
