Editor, Times-Union: As a board member of the Riley Children’s Hospital Board of Governors, I would like to say thank you to the Kiwanis who stood in the blustery weather on Saturday collecting for Riley. We have many families in Kosciusko County who have unfortunately had to make visits to Riley Hospital. Riley Hospital will never turn a child away who needs medical attention. A family’s financial situation is never an issue. If a child needs help they will get the best medical attention possible. Riley Hospital’s slogan, “Hope Happens Here,” is what every parent with a sick child wants to hear. I have heard so many wonderful stories from Riley children who have beat all odds because of the cutting-edge research and highly skilled doctors and caring nursing staff. Your support of Riley Hospital allows us to continue to spread the message of hope to all families.
