From The Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation: On behalf of the patients and staff of our facility we thank you for your thoughtfulness and donation to the Child Life Department. Children heal best when we can make their hospital stay as normal as possible. We also care for the social, emotional and educational needs of our patients. Thank you for supporting our efforts and making a positive difference in the lives of the patients here.” --Greg Barrett, President
“On behalf of the Cancer Center, thank you for the donation of hats for our patients. Your kindness is appreciated. Mary McCully, University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center.
