Children’s Hospital New Orleans has officially been renamed to honor the Manning family, renowned for their contributions to sports and philanthropy. The hospital now bears the name ‘Manning Children’s Hospital,’ a tribute that was announced in a ceremony on February 6, 2025. The ceremony featured prominent figures including Eli Manning, Cooper Manning, and their family, who participated in the festivities. Eli Manning, former NFL quarterback, expressed his gratitude during the event stating, ‘We are deeply honored that our family name is now part of Children’s Hospital New Orleans, a place that has always been about caring for the children and families in our community.’ Cooper Manning also shared his thoughts on the renaming, stating, ‘This hospital has always stood for hope and healing, and we are excited to partner with them in their mission.’ The renaming is not only a reflection of the Manning family’s philanthropic efforts but also an acknowledgment of their deep roots in New Orleans, where their father, Archie Manning, and their mother, Olivia, influenced both sports and community engagement. The Manning family has a history of supporting health and educational initiatives, which makes this partnership fitting. The hospital will continue to provide top-tier healthcare services while also embarking on new programs to ensure the health and wellbeing of the children of New Orleans. The renaming ceremony concluded with a rendition of ‘God Bless America,’ led by Eli Manning, which resonated with the attendees and celebrated the community spirit of the Manning family.
