MIBG Construction Update #4, Levine Children’s Hospital

Look at all the lead work that has been done since our site visit on the new ISF MIBG therapy suite at Levine Children’s Hospital…

• Lead brick walls installed
• Lead window frame and door frames installed
• Lead ceiling installed
• Reinstalling overhead utilities.

MIBG Therapy Program Lead, Dawn, shared with us that a Pediatric Grand Rounds (accredited healthcare eduction) is being held on MIBG therapy and immunotherapy tomorrow.  Many residents and other medical staff have been very inquisitive about the new room and therapy it will offer.  Dawn and Dr. Oesterheld are currently working on the formal education for residents and hospitalists that will take place in the coming months.

We are excited to learn that the lead brick that was signed at the the March 9th MIBG celebration will be placed in the wall in the coming weeks.  On this day we were joined on by our 3 Wish Circle Members and sponsors who helped us make this room a reality.  What was also special, doctors and nurses who treated Isabella during her time at Levine Children’s Hospital were  in attendance. Everyone in attendance signed a piece of Levine history as the lead brick will become part of the suite during construction.

Almost $14,000 has been raised by our ISF MIBG Ambassadors.  Want to be part of providing comfortable care for the kids/families that go through MIBG Treatment?  Our new MIBG Ambassador Program gives you the flexibility of raising $5,000 the way you want to raise it… 100% of funds raised through this program will be distributed very specifically through our LCH partnership with this very targeted MIBG purpose. {You do not have to be located in Charlotte to participate, contact Tia for details}
