NCH’s commitment to excellence and innovation in patient care has led it to adopt an endowed chair model, common in academia but rare in a community health care setting. Endowed chairs are a hallmark of great institutions and one of the most prestigious honors that can be bestowed upon a leader. It provides secure, flexible support for the holder, empowering them to test the limits of what is possible in their program and dedicate time to leadership and mentorship in their field.
Thanks to the generosity of donors who support exceptional clinicians through endowed chairs, NCH can continue to provide a world-class experience for our patients.
