Message from the President

Dear friends,

As a practicing surgeon for more than 25 years, I know that medicine takes more than what happens in the operating room or even within the four walls of the hospital. At Le Bonheur Children’s, we are proud to address the needs of patients and their families not only in the hospital or clinic but right in their very own communities — at school, in play and even at home.

Part of our commitment to the more than 500,000 kids we treat at Le Bonheur each year is to care for each of them mind, body and spirit. We are proud to seek innovative solutions to provide the best care possible to every child who walks through our doors.

From encouraging literacy through the distribution of free books to ensuring patients are up to date on routine vaccinations, to helping babies practice safe sleep and providing resources for victims of violence, our commitment to kids is unwavering.

In this issue, I hope you’ll enjoy reading stories about the difference you help make for children and their families through our community programming.

Because of your support, more children will be able to receive the help and resources they need to thrive that only Le Bonheur can provide. Thank you for helping us care for kids.

Sincerely, 

Trey Eubanks, MD, FACS

President and Surgeon-in-Chief

Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital
