The Auxiliary of The Jewish Hospital raises more than $100,000

Cincinnati- The Auxiliary of The Jewish Hospital raised more than $100,000 for The Jewish Hospital at its "10 th Anniversary at Kenwood celebration," honoring Mrs. Claire Phillips on Saturday, Sept. 8, at The Greenacres Arts Center in Indian Hill.

Proceeds from the event will be given to the hospital for the purchase of vein viewers, equipment that allows hospital personnel to insert IVs and draw blood from patients with difficult veins. These instruments will benefit many Jewish Hospital patients and will be used in all areas of the hospital.

The 10th anniversary celebration featured cocktails, hors d?oeuvres, a tour of the estate, dinner, and dancing to the band, The Mistics. Raffle prizes were also awarded. American Financial Group was the presenting sponsor of the celebration.

Mrs. Claire Phillips was honored at the event for her support of The Jewish Hospital. Her generous contributions have allowed the Auxiliary to purchase a digital mammography machine, new monitors in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU), as well as furnish the Emergency Department with state-of-the-art monitors.

The Greenacres Arts Center, purchased by Mrs. Louise Nippert and the Greenacres Foundation in 1998 from the Fleischmann family, sits on 250 acres of pastoral land. The Arts Center fulfilled the Nipperts? dream of educating children of all ages in the cultural arts.

The Auxiliary of The Jewish Hospital includes more than 500 members. Dani Frappier is the current president. 

The Jewish Hospital is an acute care hospital located in Cincinnati?s northeast suburbs. It was established in 1850 as the first Jewish hospital in the United States and is part of the Health Alliance, an integrated health care delivery system.
