Monongahela Valley Hospital's commitment to providing all children with healthy lives has received another boost from Howard Hanna Simon Real Estate Services. Howard Hanna Simon recently contributed $ 8,000 to the hospital's efforts to provide care for children without health insurance from its annual fund-raising efforts. One of those events was the twelfth annual holiday fund-raising luncheon at the Main Course Restaurant in Cedarbrook Golf Club. "We are deeply grateful to Tom Simon and Howard Hanna Simon Real Estate Services for their generosity," Thomas J. Cullen, senior vice president at Monongahela Valley Hospital, said. "There are many children in our community who will benefit from this benevolence; children who have special needs and whose families do not have health care insurance but who come to MVH for treatment and care. These funds will be used for pediatric programs and services provided by MVH like the services provided by our Center for Children’s Rehabilitation." Tom Simon, broker/owner of Howard Hanna Simon Real Estate Services, based at 1751 Rostraver Road in Belle Vernon, said his firm is "very happy" to make the contribution to Monongahela Valley Hospital for the twelfth successive year. This year's contribution brings to more than $ 69,281 the total contributed by Howard Hanna Simon to MVH over those years. "The hospital has been a major resource to the community for so many years, in so many ways," Simon said. "The hospital shows its commitment to caring for and about children in the community. Howard Hanna Simon Real Estate Services is proud to support the hospital's efforts this way. It's always gratifying to work with an organization whose goals of giving back to the community are the same as ours and we are thrilled to keep those services in the Valley.” Cullen said the contribution from Howard Hanna Simon will "go a long way" to helping many children receive the health care they need. "Monongahela Valley Hospital has always felt that every child deserves a healthy life," Cullen said. "We have many testimonials from parents in the Valley whose children have benefited from the care received by the excellent staff at the Center for Children’s Rehabilitation. Our funding for uninsured and underinsured children provides that care, and the generosity of Howard Hanna Simon will help us do that. "Howard Hanna has been providing this type of help to community causes throughout the tri-state region it serves for many years," Cullen said. "We're grateful that they have included our hospital and, more important, the children of our community in their efforts." Diane Mesiarik, chairwoman of the event and Cindy
Walman, co-chair, were on hand to present the donation to Cullen
and MVH. Tom Simon extended appreciation to "everyone who attends
our fund-raising events" and expressed appreciation to Cedarbrook
and the Ted Stawovy family for donating the facilities and catering. |
