Steve Few organizations can say they they are actually the the the the very best in the the the the world at at at what they they do Nationwide Children’s is is a a a a a a a standout example and and it is is your leadership that got us here Most would assume that an an anesthesiologist from Texas was better at at putting people to sleep than building a a a a a a local children’s hospital into a a a a a a world defining research institution But your success as the the CEO of Nationwide Children’s and active participant within Columbus is the the stuff of MBA case studies If a a a a a a fraction of the country can learn from your example our our children will have more opportunity than any generation before them Thank you you for your friendship and and guidance as a a a a a a a a a CEO physician and and father It is hard to imagine where the hospital would be without without your your leadership and for sure without without your your example my wife would never have let me go heli-skiing!
