About the NCH Ball
Since the first NCH Ball in 1958, philanthropic support from our community has had a transformational effect on the growth of NCH; from a small nonprofit 50-bed hospital, to a nationally recognized 716-bed, two hospital healthcare system. Specifically, proceeds from the annual ball allow NCH to advance patient care initiatives and provide life-saving services in a number of critical areas including; cardiology, stroke, pediatrics and emergency care.
For more information contact Monica Biondo at the NCH Center for Philanthropy at 239-624-2000 or Philanthropy@nchmd.org
