Children's Hospital Boston Receives $25K From Philanthropist Jesse Willms
Children's Hospital Boston is the latest organization to receive financial support
from Jesse Willms as he continues to transform himself from a successful businessman into a philanthropist.Since he started his quest to help the community this summer, Willms has focused most of his giving on organizations that help women and children or provide disaster relief.
For that reason he said the care center, also known as Boston Children's Hospital, seemed like a natural fit because of its long-standing reputation in the medical community.
Willms also donated $25,000 each to three other charities today, including:
The Gulf Coast Restoration Fund
The Nevada YMCA
The Breast Cancer Research Fund
Why Children's Hospital Boston?

Its Advanced Fetal Care Center can begin interventions at 15 weeks into a pregnancy, and in some cases including congenital heart disease and strabismus the hospital will care for adult patients as well. The institution is home to 40 clinical departments and 225 specialized clinical programs.

It ranked in the top three of all pediatric specialty categories, and number one in heart surgery, neurology, neurosurgery, urology, nephrology and orthopedics.
