Archie and Olivia Manning’s tight-knit family is often referred to as the first family of American football. Now, there is the Manning Family Children’s hospital in this city where the two native Mississippians have lived for the last 54 years.

Children's Hospital New Orleans is now Manning Family Children's in honor of the family's support. Archie Manning called it "our finest hour."

Children’s Hospital New Orleans will be renamed Manning Family Children’s, marking the first time in its 70-year history it has taken on a patron’s name, officials announced Wednesday. The change comes with a “transformational gift” from the Manning family — Archie, Olivia, Cooper, Peyton, and Eli — though the exact amount remains confidential.

Cooper Manning speaks about the importance of Children's Hospital New Orleans as it gets renamed after family.

Children’s Hospital will now be known as Manning Family Children’s. While hospital officials did not disclose how much money the Mannings donated, they did say that the family will partner with LCMC Health to help share the hospital’s story.
