Not forgotten...
Children's lost a long-term volunteer in January. Irene Levine had been a volunteer here since 1987. She was known by people in the clinic areas as well as by those in Admitting/Pre-op, and during the last year or so, she sat at the reception desk in the Pavilion Lobby. Levine was a wonderful human being. Volunteering at Children's and Children's itself was extremely important to her. She was known by many patients and staff, and she will be greatly missed. Her dedication and devotion to the hospital was outstanding.Thank you, admins!...
