Meals “at Your request” - Johns Hopkins Children's Center

On the evening of April 12th, the Mayor of New York City stood before more than
1,400 dignitaries, donors, and doctors. They had all gathered for the dedication of
The Charlotte R. Bloomberg Children’s Center, and His Honor, Charlotte’s son,
Michael Bloomberg, was in fine form. In tones both hopeful and bar-setting, Bloomberg spoke
of the promise of the impressive new 12-story edifice. “If this center will bring the youngest
and most vulnerable patients the kind of care and comfort that they need; if it will increase
the knowledge and experience of the greatest doctors and teachers; if it will inspire other
institutions to do more and do better,” said Bloomberg, “then we all will be happy.” So
what will it take to make all those ‘ifs’ go away? And how far can a new Children’s Center
take Hopkins down that path?
