In her seven years serving the hospital in the Health Information Management Department, Barbara Mihalich became deeply connected to the mission. She absolutely loved the culture and the team at Ranken Jordan, but her favorite part of working here was seeing the joy the patients felt getting up and out of their rooms to play. Barb was a champion for the bedside staff who made that happen for these children who deserve so much to experience all of the happiest parts of childhood.
When Barb passed, her husband Paul wanted to find a way to honor his wonderful wife. He decided to establish the Barbara Mihalich Scholarship Fund to support the nurses who make the hospital’s unique Care Beyond the Bedside® model possible. Through a current gift and a planned estate gift, Paul and Barbara will directly impact the staff at Ranken Jordan who help children heal. We are honored to carry on the legacy of our dear friend and champion for children, Barbara Mihalich.
