From the President
Dear Friend of All
Children's Hospital,
As an integral part
of the All Children's
Hospital family, you
continue to support
us along this journey
toward becoming a
national leader in
pediatric medicine. Your enduring loyalty
has made a significant impression on me.
Every day I am reminded that the work we
are doing for the children placed in our
care is in no small measure made possible
by your generosity.
I know that this hospital and everything
it stands for is as personal to you as it is to
me and everyone in our Foundation. It is
with this understanding that All Children's
Hospital Foundation has created For the
Kids. We want to provide you with a reason
to be inspired … informed … and involved
with everything we are doing to create
healthy futures for our kids.
In these pages, you will see how your
generosity has impacted our mission. You'll
read about patient treatments, research
studies, interviews with medical staff, events,
stories about your fellow donors and, most
significantly, new opportunities that require
your assistance to become a reality. We see
it as a regular update for you, a resource
that puts you right inside our hospital doors.
We hope you enjoy it. Thank you for
being a part of our family and for all you
do for all children.
Sincerely,
Jonathan M. Ellen, M.D.
President and Physician-in-Chief
All Children's Hospital
Vice Dean and Professor of Pediatrics
