Children's DoctorIn the Fall 2013 issue of Children’s Doctor, we announced the Buerger family had donated $50 million to the under-construction ambulatory care center, which will be named the Buerger Center for Advanced Pediatric Care. Here are some interesting facts about this unique and revolutionary building.
The biennial Carousel Ball was held at the Please Touch Museum in Fairmont Park in October, and all proceeds were contributed to the Buerger Center. There are many opportunities to make donations to the center by sponsoring the roof garden or by supplying a brick inscribed with your name. Visit www. chopbuildinghope.org to see more and learn how to support the construction.
This new ambulatory center will complement the extensive CHOP Care Network. Here are some more interesting facts:
Congratulations to Alexander Fiks, assistant professor of Pediatrics and a primary care physician at CHOP, who was appointed associate director of the American Academy of Pediatrics Pediatric Research in Office Settings (PROS) Network. And best wishes to Mike Apkon, our chief medical officer, who has resigned his position at CHOP to become CEO of The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.
If you have information about yourself or other CHOP alumni, contact Barrie Nussbaum at nussbaumb@email.chop.edu. You can find more information about fellow alumni on our alumni website at www.chopalumni.org.
