THANKS TO SOME “UGLY” MEN TAMPA GENERAL HOSPITAL RECEIVES NEW PLAYGROUND Thanks to a donation from the 13 Ugly Men Foundation Inc. (comprised of doctors, lawyers and entrepreneurs), children visiting the Pediatric Clinic at Tampa General Hospital's Healthpark have a new place to play—a fencedin brightly-colored playground. The official ribbon cutting took place in February. The group donated $18,000 to the Tampa General Foundation to fund the playground. The play area has been a big hit with the 900± children treated at the Pediatric Clinic each month and their family members. dR
1. Nurse Manager Sharon Ford and Members of 13 Ugly Men: Lee Mezrah, Dr. Randy Feldman, Ean Mendelsohn, Alan Douglass, Donnie Nurnberger cut the ribbon along with Dr. Jennifer Takagishi, USF/TGH.
