Lead Gift to University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital Launches the Jennifer Ferchill Brain Tumor Center

CLEVELAND – Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital at University Hospitals Case Medical Center announced today the creation of the Jennifer Ferchill Brain Tumor Center, established through a significant leadership gift from the John and Sharon Ferchill family. The hospital will honor the Ferchill family for their generosity and officially launch the Jennifer Ferchill Brain Tumor Center with a reception on July 17, 2007 at Rainbow.

“We lost our daughter, Jennifer, 25 years ago to a brain tumor,” said Cleveland-based real estate developer John J. Ferchill. “With this center dedicated to her memory, Jenny’s legacy will inspire hope for patients and their families for generations to come.”

Brain tumors are the most common form of pediatric cancer, and despite advances in recent years, brain tumors have surpassed leukemia as the leading cause of cancer death in children.
