It was very gracious of TeamHealth and DeAngelis Diamond Healthcare Group to take the lead role in supporting this important initiative focused on serving the healthcare needs of children in our community,” said Allen Weiss, M.D., President & CEO, NCH Healthcare System. “Funds raised this year will benefit the Pediatric Emergency Department’s expansion and enhancement project. Thanks to the generosity of our Presenting Sponsors, as well as many other charitable companies and individuals, we surpassed our sponsorship goal.”

TeamHealth provides physician support services for more than 800 hospitals across the country. They have been long-standing partners of NCH and are dedicated to delivering exceptional medical care to residents and visitors of Southwest Florida. John Lewis, M.D., Medical Director, TeamHealth Southeast stated, “We understand the increased need for pediatric services in this community and feel as though it is our duty to step up and make the necessary commitment. We hope that our actions will inspire others to become involved in this worthwhile project.”

TeamHealth has been a sponsor of the NCH Hospital Ball for the past seven years but felt this year was special. Dr. Lewis added “We (TeamHealth) thought what better way to help our community than to improve the facilities that deliver lifesaving assistance to children when they need it the most.”

DeAngelis Diamond Construction has played a significant role in the progressive landscape of Southwest Florida since the mid-90s. Their reputation for service and excellence in the building industry continues into the world of philanthropy. They are committed to giving back to the communities where their employees work and live. “We were honored to share the spotlight with TeamHealth at the NCH Hospital Ball.
