70 Years, 70 Friends — Cooperadora of the Dr. Ricardo Gutiérrez Children's Hospital
Every day, more than 3,000 children are treated at the Dr. Ricardo Gutiérrez Children's Hospital. It is Latin America's oldest pediatric hospital, in continuous operation since 1875, and remains one of the region's most important referral centers: it receives patients from across Argentina and neighboring countries, cared for by a team of more than 2,400 highly specialized professionals.
Behind those children is the constant work of the Cooperadora of the Children's Hospital: funding medical equipment, supporting infrastructure projects, and making sure no child goes without the care they need.
This year we're celebrating our 70th anniversary, and to make sure the hospital can keep up that daily pace, we're looking for 70 friends who, from the United States, commit to a monthly donation of $70 for one year. This isn't a one-time gift: it's a sustained commitment that gives the Cooperadora the stability to plan ahead.
Today, that future has a name: the full renovation of the Gómez Pavilion, a key wing of the hospital that holds 40% of its clinical inpatient beds.
Becoming one of the 70 Friends means sustaining, month after month, the care of thousands of children who depend on the Gutiérrez Hospital today. Seventy years, seventy friends, three thousand children a day.
