Emeritus Council

The Friends of Children’s Hospital Emeritus Council is a special advisory group composed of former board members who have made a lasting impact on our mission. These individuals are champions for children’s health and continue to share their wisdom, support, and passion long after their formal board service has ended. The Emeritus Council reflects a spirit of lifelong commitment to the children and families we serve, and we are proud to continue this journey together.
