Generous Community Donors Help Pave the Way for New Children’s Pavilion
Saturday, May 20, was a very exciting day for the St. Luke’s family and our community. On that day, we celebrated the generosity of donors who have helped make the new St. Luke’s Children’s Pavilion a reality.
This $42 million facility will offer state-of-the-art care and give us much-needed space. We anticipate work will be completed by early 2019, giving our youngest patients and their families access to pediatric specialists and support services together in one location. When a child is sick it can be a very stressful time for a family. Bringing these services together helps remove some of the burden that comes from taking a child to multiple provider visits over multiple days; instead they can see providers at a single location on the same day.
I am touched by the support St. Luke’s has received from this community and am honored to be a part of this endeavor that will ultimately serve many of our families and children.
Saturday was an important milestone in our journey, and that is certainly reason to celebrate.
