This week marked a monumental milestone for Connecticut Children’s as we celebrated the installation of the final steel beams atop our visionary #CCTowerOfHeroes. 🎉🌟 This event isn’t just a construction update—it’s a testament to the enduring spirit of our patients, the steadfast commitment of our staff, and the generous support from our community. Dr. Jim Shmerling, President and CEO, captured the essence of this occasion perfectly when he said: "These beams which have been signed by team members, patient families, and board members, serve as reminder of our one team culture that makes Connecticut Children's so unique." 💗 #ConnecticutChildrens #BeyondImagination If you missed the virtual live stream, you could watch it here ❣️ https://lnkd.in/eEqNcY58
