Message from the President

Dear friends,

Our physicians and staff Associates join the Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital family for a myriad of reasons. Some feel called to care for kids, others are inspired by their own children who are patients, and in some instances, they are former patients themselves.

Regardless of their “why,” none of what we do for kids would be possible without our Associates and physicians — they are the beat of the red heart on top of our building.

In this issue, you will read about Associates and physicians with a dual perspective as providers caring for patients and families, and as parents navigating their own children’s care. You will also read about former patients now serving as Le Bonheur caregivers, connecting with patients through a shared understanding of spending time in the hospital.

I hope you are as inspired as I am by the stories in this issue. While our reasons for working here vary, a deep and abiding love for, and commitment to, Le Bonheur runs through the heart of our hospital and every person who calls this place home.

As a father and grandfather, I have experienced firsthand the world-class care provided at Le Bonheur, and I am honored to work alongside this devoted team of health care professionals.

Because of your support, children will receive the expert care they need to thrive for generations to come. Thank you for helping us be the best place for kids, always.

Sincerely, 

Trey Eubanks, MD, FACS

President and Surgeon-in-Chief

Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital
