Vestavia Hills residents selected for Children’s of Alabama Committee for the Future

More than three dozen community leaders from the Birmingham metro area and beyond have been named to the Children’s of Alabama Committee for the Future Class of 2014. Two of the new members for the Class of 2014, C. Reynolds Anderson and Patty Cobb, are from Vestavia Hills.

Members were chosen based on nominations and referrals from members of past classes. They all share an interest in the impact of pediatric healthcare in Alabama and will serve as advocates for Children’s and the patients who receive care there.

Throughout the year, Children’s will provide committee members with unique opportunities to support patients and their families through events, community programs and other hospital-sponsored activities, including the Sugar Plum Shop, an in-hospital holiday toy store for patients and their families who spend the holidays in the hospital.

The Committee for the Future is a program that provides emerging leaders throughout the state opportunities to experience Children’s unique mission so they can share stories of hope and become life-long supporters of the hospital. Members have the opportunity to observe surgical, medical and psychosocial services firsthand during an in-hospital rotation day, in addition to learning about research initiatives.
