The South End's Ronald E. Kleinman, MD, will be honored at MassGeneral Hospital for Children's Storybook Ball during a reimagined virtual evening on Thursday, October 21, at 7:00 p.m.
Dr. Kleinman is stepping down as Physician-in-Chief of MGHfC after 43 years of outstanding service to the hospital. Throughout his storied career, Dr. Kleinman has impacted countless patients, families and fellow clinicians.
His wife, Martha Kleinman, will be spotlighted as Honorary Co-Chair, recognizing her dedication to the Storybook Ball committee for over two decades.
Since the event's inception in 2000, Storybook Ball has raised more than $32 million, allowing MGHfC to provide extraordinary care to its patients and families; to recruit and support the best physicians; and to advance research that will transform clinical care worldwide.
Led by Co-Chairs Fiona and James Benenson of Brookline and Rachel and Bill Motley of Dover, the 22nd anniversary of Storybook Ball includes speeches, patient stories and tributes.
The event showcases the Pediatric Infectious Disease program at MGHfC, which includes a highly expert group of infectious disease clinicians, researchers, microbiologists and pathologists who provide multidisciplinary care and expertise for children with some of the rarest and most complicated infections in the world, including those that trigger neuropsychiatric illness.
