hearttoheart children’s hospital & medical center heaRtstRings Heartstrings, a new philanthropic women’s group at Children’s Hospital & Medical Center, had its kick-off coffee on September 12 at the hospital. The group’s co-chairs are Danielle Bradford, Shelley Homa, Mimi Gleason, Lori Paul and Lynette Singer. Members enjoyed a breakfast reception before attending a program that centered on the renovation of Children’s Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Dr. Lynne Willett, NICU Clinical Service Chief, spoke about exciting developments on the horizon for the department. A mother, whose son spent 70 days in the NICU and weighed barely two pounds at birth, also shared her positive Children’s experience. He is now a healthy eight-year-old. At the end of the program, members were given a tour of the NICU facilities. Heartstrings provides its members an innovative means to support the hospital, as well as social and educational opportunities. The annual funds raised by the group will be pooled and granted by a vote of the membership to a program at the hospital to support the life-changing medical care that takes place at Children’s.
