MILWAUKEE (11/30/2007) -  Children's Hospital of Wisconsin celebrated the "topping-off" of the west tower Wednesday, Nov. 28, with 150 board members, employees, donors, patient families and community leaders. The ceremony marked an important milestone in the west tower's construction as the final steel beam was put into place, representing the completion of the building's structure.
The 18-foot beam that was put into position was signed by hundreds of patient families, employees and visitors prior to the event. At the ceremony, attendees heard from Children's Hospital and Health System President and CEO Jon E. Vice, Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker, Boldt Construction, the Klement's Sausage Company and Kathy Krahling, a parent whose children frequently have been cared for at Children's Hospital.
More than $250,000 in financial gifts were presented by Boldt and Klement. The west tower will be complete in the spring of 2009.
