About Duke Children's Hospital & Health Center:
Duke Children's Hospital & Health Center provides a comprehensive array of pediatric services for children from birth to adulthood. Duke's multidisciplinary approach to care is especially effective in the treatment of complex childhood health problems.

Duke Children's is consistently ranked among the top pediatric specialty programs nationwide by U.S. News & World Report.

Their specialty services provide comprehensive care in 28 pediatric specialties, ranging from common allergies and infectious diseases to complex leukemias and genetic disorders.

Duke Children's specialty outreach services include regional satellite clinics and a cardiology telemedicine program that links Duke pediatric cardiologists with neonatal and pediatric caregivers at community hospitals in North Carolina and Virginia.

Duke's Camp Kaleidoscope provides an opportunity for children with chronic and terminal illnesses to experience the joys of summer camp. The free, one-week-long program is open to all Duke pediatric patients (with the consent of their healthcare providers) and is funded through philanthropic support.

How To Help Duke Children's Hospital & Health Center:
MIX 101.5 Radiothon DONATE
Each year MIX 101.5 WRAL-FM holds a Radiothon to help the kids at Duke. Personalities from the station broadcast live from the hospital, sharing stories & interviewing children and their families, while staffers and volunteers man the phone bank.

The MIX 101.5 WRAL-FM Radiothon is Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center’s largest single fundraising event each year. This signature event raises funds to benefit children’s programs and further support the continuation of excellence within the medical and surgical programs housed at Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center.

The 16th Annual MIX 101.5 WRAL-FM Radiothon for the Kids at Duke will take place on February 9 - 11, 2010.
