Carrie Tingley Hospital Foundation (CTHF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission to enhance the lives of Carrie Tingley Hospital patients and children with physical disabilities and their families throughout New Mexico. CTHF empowers children and families to reach their full potential through three primary programs: 1) the Carrie Tingley Hospital Program, which funds equipment and research for New Mexico’s only pediatric rehabilitative hospital; 2) the Quality of Life Program, which offers fully accessible recreational and sports opportunities such as adaptive camps, wheelchair basketball, sled hockey, and adaptive cycling; and 3) the Patient and Family Assistance Program, which provides these children and families with emergency financial assistance, vehicle/home modifications for wheelchair accessibility, and medical/therapeutic equipment not covered by insurance. In just over 56 years, these programs have increased access to quality healthcare and adaptive services for children with physical disabilities, bridging the gap in equity and inclusion across New Mexico.
