Dear Friends, 

Thank you for being a part of the 46th Financial Industries Dinner benefiting National Jewish Health. Your generosity enables our world-class experts to make medical breakthroughs and deliver unequalled care to thousands of children and adults from across the country and around the world who rely on our expertise to treat and cure the most complex lung, heart, immune and related conditions. 

This year, we celebrate 125 years as a place of healing and discovery science. Our legacy of significant medical innovation is nothing short of amazing. We have led the way in understanding the root causes, genetic links and other factors of diseases that affect millions, such as severe asthma and allergies, cystic fibrosis, COPD and lung cancer, to name few. Our work to uncover effective treatments, from biologics and immunotherapies to vaccines and novel therapies for antibiotic-resistant bacteria, has been game-changing in the medical community — and life-changing for countless patients. 

What we learn today leads to novel discoveries tomorrow. We have accomplished so much because of a culture of care that stands the test of time. Passion, courage and leadership drive our unstoppable search for answers and our commitment to excellence in care that every patient deserves. Behind the scenes, our compassionate clinical teams and renowned researchers make it all possible. As we look toward the future of our institution, we will continue to transform medical science in many ways. 

To learn more about the impact we are having through breathtaking discoveries and life-changing care, visit njhealth.org, or contact your regional National Jewish Health office. We invite you to take a personal Behind the Scenes® tour to see firsthand why we are the leading respiratory hospital in the nation. Please contact us at 212.297.0857 to arrange a visit. 

On behalf of our Board of Directors, Council of National Trustees, faculty, staff and the patients and families we serve, thank you for joining us at the Financial Industries Dinner. Best regards. 

Sincerely, 

Michael Salem, 
M.D. President and CEO
