Aside from St. Jude, it's the best in Memphis. I know, I used it a few times with my children while living there.

Want to find out more about our polar bears? Wondering how our pandas YaYa and LeLe are doing? Or how about how our gorillas are starting to get along? You're at the right place.

This makes me sooo sad! I guess since she didn't have older females to guide her, she just didn't know. This is a great loss for our zoo and all it's members.
Linda at 7:28pm July 8
So sorry to hear this. I thought this story was such a sweet one with LeBonheur teaming with the zoo.

This is AWESOME! As a parent of a child that receives treatment and services from Le Bonheur, I can attest that you all are absolutely the BEST. I would not have my child treated anywhere else. Thank you for everything you all do every day to improve the quality of life for children & their families!

Jamie Young I'm proud of the work you do, and the friendliness that you've shown to me and my family. Genuinely good hearted people who honestly care about children and their families. I don't think there's a better children's hospital in the world! Thanks, Le Bonheur!


Le Bonheur Children's Medical Center Check out how we are helping our partner, The Memphis Zoo, prepare for the birth of a new baby elephant. A hospital-grade human breast pump will help the their new momma elephant provide vital nutrients to her new born. http://tr.im/qMUG


Megan Bruce Nowell I wanted to let everyone know that the Lebohner fundraiser cookbooks that the associates at Wal-Mart in Lexington, TN have been working on are in. They are $12 each. We are trying to reach a goal of $3,000. All the proceeds are going to Lebohner Children's Hospital in Memphis, TN. With your help we can reach this goal. If you are interested in purchasing one please contact me. I can ship the books anywhere if needed. Thanks

Considering the man ramrodding this - has spoken of children as 'punishment' and has come out in favor of late term and evne partial birth abortion -- and considering there is no way for his system to work without rationing -- Im not sure how much sympathy children or the elderly can expect --- but -- we can always HOPE - that his plan will CHANGE.

This Hospital is AWESOME. Considering the circumstances behind me having to be there were TRAGIC and DEVISTATING, everyone there was sooo caring.....not just a "put on" like at some other hospitals, they too cried and sobbed while I was dying inside. VERY CARING AND COMFORTING! I wanna say to DR. BUGNITZ if your still there, THANKS with all my heart. You and you staff, I know, did all you could for my "Little Man". Keep up the AWESOME work!!!!! Kudos to all!!!!
We all love and miss you Blake.
