Dear friends,
More than 70 years ago, Le Bonheur Children’s opened its doors and made a commitment to provide expert care to every child in the community.
As Memphis and the surrounding region have grown, so have the number of kids seen annually at Le Bonheur. We treated more than 500,000 kids last year alone.
For several years, many of our critical care units have operated at or near capacity. In order to meet the demand, we broke ground in 2021 on the largest building expansion since the new hospital opened in 2010. The four-story, $95.4-million addition allows us to continue our sustainable, long-term growth trajectory.
With additional critical care beds on our cardiovascular and neonatal floors and a new state-of-the-art hybrid MRI-guided catheterization lab, we are growing to meet the needs of children and their families.
As a father to five and grandfather to four, I understand the importance of having quality children’s health care readily available here in Memphis and the surrounding region. Families count on Le Bonheur and expanding the hospital ensures kids can receive specialized pediatric care close to home for generations to come.
In this issue, I hope you’ll enjoy reading stories about the difference we are making for children and their families.
Because of your support, more children will be able to receive the expert critical care only Le Bonheur can provide.
Sincerely,
Trey Eubanks, MD, FACS
