News June 7th, 2026

The 2026 Janeway Telethon came to an end Sunday after raising more than $2.8 million.

For over four decades, the Janeway Children’s Miracle Network Telethon has been a cherished tradition in Newfoundland and Labrador, bringing communities together in support of the Janeway Children’s Health and Rehabilitation Centre, the province’s only pediatric hospital.

This special event, which aired on NTV all weekend, shared heartwarming and honest stories of Janeway kids and their families, highlighting the incredible impact of donor support. It also showcases the generosity of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians, whose kindness makes life-saving and life-changing care possible. With inspiring stories, heartfelt giving, and musical performances, the Telethon is a true celebration of support, resilience, and community spirit.

The Janeway Children’s Health & Rehabilitation Centre provides excellence in specialized health care in a compassionate, supportive environment, to our province’s sick and injured children. Each child cared for at the Janeway inspires us with their courage and determination to be well. It is this determination that drives our staff to achieve the best possible outcomes for these children, constantly exploring and researching new treatments and health care regimens, maximizing every available resource.

The 800 nurses, technicians, therapists, and support staff and 85 doctors, within the Janeway Children’s and Women’s Health Program, provide primary, secondary and tertiary care services, on both an inpatient and ambulatory basis, for children from infancy to 18 years of age.  As well, a full range of maternal services are provided in obstetrics and gynecology.

The Mental Health and Addictions Program operates services located in the Janeway Hospital as well as the Child and Adolescent Outpatient Psychiatry Service.

The Janeway, in affiliation with Memorial University, serves as a primary clinical resource for pediatric and obstetric teaching and research. Through a broad range of health professions in medicine, nursing and related health services, the hospital and university work together – training the health care providers of tomorrow.
