ST. JUDE announced a $20-million commitment from The Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation to support inpatient care. The Cohen Foundation’s gift will help fund the construction of an inpatient care unit for children treated at the new Kay Research & Care Center on the St. Jude campus.
The third floor of the new Kay Research & Care Center will be home to 17 of the hospital’s 51 new inpatient beds, and will be named in honor of the Cohen Foundation. When complete, the new inpatient unit will offer an enhanced patient care experience, with digital technology and more room to accommodate patient and family needs. Patients are expected to occupy the new floors in the Kay Research & Care Center by July 2016.
