Generous donors help build the new South Pavilion
Nearly 4,000 donors have contributed a total of $28 million in charitable gifts to the NCH Foundation’s Community Vision Campaign. Many donors designated their gifts to help build the new nine-story South Pavilion – the centerpiece of the $35-million drive.
Donors’ reasons for giving vary. Some are grateful for life-saving care, some want to give back to the community they love, and others want to ensure a healthy future for their children and grandchildren. All are excited about the new pavilion’s promise of more comfort, more safety and more healing for patients. Meet a few of the generous people who have invested in this exceptional new environment.
