"My commitment to MWPH began in 2011 with the arrival of my twins when I soon learned that my son needed physical therapy for a neck-related issue. Already overwhelmed with twin motherhood, the thought of physical therapy for my newborn was intimidating. I was quickly referred to MWPH for weekly therapy appointments and I saw first-hand the depth of care the whole team delivers to each patient.

Through the eyes of a patient parent, I’m delighted to chair the Horizon Society to co-create giving strategies with the hospital and donors so MWPH can continue to serve our children now and in the future. I hope others will join me in donating to the hospital and pledging future estate assets to such a worthy cause!"

  - Heather (Hoffman) Keane, Chair of the Horizon Society
