The Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt launched the “Growing to New Heights” fundraising campaign Wednesday night (Oct. 22) at a celebration in support of a four-floor building expansion. That expansion will help advance the size and scope of the hospital’s specialized pediatric health care programs. Patients and their families, along with community supporters and Vanderbilt University officials, gathered to celebrate Children’s Hospital’s longstanding commitment to healing and discovery. Watch an excerpt of that celebration, including a cornerstone fundraising campaign gift of $10 million from the daughters of Monroe Carell Jr., the hospital’s namesake, and his wife Ann Scott Carell, both now deceased. The goal of the “Growing to New Heights” campaign is to raise $30 million over three years to create funds that will support the total estimated cost of the building’s $100 million expansion.
