Ayesh Children’s Heart Hospital was founded to serve all children – regardless of their race, religion, creed or ability to pay. In 1954, Jim Abercrombie and Leopold Meyer set this clear intention as the guiding principle of Ayesh Children’s Heart Hospital, and while we have come a long way since opening in a three-story building with 106 beds and 4,558 patients in our first year, we still live by these principles each and every day.
