KOSAIR CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
Jennifer Lawrence steps up for health with $2 million donation to a children’s hospital
Jennifer Lawrence is one of my favorite current actors. Her series of the “Hunger Games” has been my favorite of her movies.
I enjoy her personality and her ability to change into the different roles she has portrayed on other films.
And she has a heart!
Kudos, J-Law!!

Jennifer Lawrence establishes Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at Kosair Children’s Hospital
New unit to be dedicated to children recovering from heart procedures, open heart surgery including heart transplant, heart failure and other conditions requiring intensive care.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Feb. 12, 2016)
Children with heart conditions who seek care at Kosair Children’s Hospital will receive a boost thanks to a $2 million gift from the Jennifer Lawrence Foundation that will establish the Jennifer Lawrence Foundation Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. In addition, the foundation is challenging the community to raise an additional $2 million.
“My family and I have met so many wonderful children on our visits to the hospital. Their strength and courage is inspiring,” Lawrence said. “I challenge everyone to give whatever they can to raise an additional $2 million to help.”
More than 5,000 children a year visit the Kosair Children’s Hospital Heart Center for specialized heart care. The center performs more than 17,500 procedures annually that include open heart surgeries, catheterizations, electrophysiology and noninvasive tests such as echocardiograms.
“We are thankful for the generosity shown by the Jennifer Lawrence Foundation with this gift,” said Thomas D. Kmetz, division president, Women’s and Children’s Services and Kosair Children’s Hospital. “We are equally thankful that she has put her trust in the outstanding work taking place at Kosair Children’s Hospital every day by challenging the community to join her in support of our heart care program.”
The number of children needing specialized heart care continues to increase, requiring the heart center to expand with an investment to establish a new cardiac intensive care unit at Kosair Children’s Hospital.
The Jennifer Lawrence Foundation Cardiac Intensive Care Unit and a renovation of the existing “Just for Kids” Critical Care Center are anticipated to cost nearly $25 million. Norton Healthcare, which owns Kosair Children’s Hospital, is committed to supporting the children’s hospital and the Children’s Hospital Foundation in making this renovation and construction project a reality.
The Children’s Hospital Foundation has raised nearly $5 million to date, and this additional $2 million gift plus what is raised through the challenge will go a long way in bringing this project to fruition.
