We recently received a thank you update from CHOP's Buerger Center that we wanted to share with everyone. We are so pleased to learn that in its first year, this extraordinary building served more than 88,000 families from all over the world. We hope that the garden in Alan's honor on the rooftop was a source of comfort for the visiting families.
From the email:
"Ten years ago, we had a vision to create the most state-of-the-art facility for pediatric outpatient medicine the world had ever seen.
Thanks to you, that vision has become a reality.
To express our gratitude to you and the more than 4,600 individuals who generously donated to make this extraordinary building a reality, we’ve created a short video with a thank-you message from our President and CEO, Madeline Bell."
More information about the one year anniversary of the Buerger Center can be found on the CHOP news site.
