March of Dimes event honors Ambassador Family
On November 2nd at the Avalon Manor, Nicole Greene will have the
opportunity to thank the March of Dimes and Methodist Hospitals for
her miracle, her son Johnny, at the 8th annual March of Dimes
Signature Chefs Tasting and Auction. Johnny Greene III was born 3
months early at Methodist Hospitals Southlake Campus on September
20, 2008. The tiny infant spent two and a half months in the
neonatal intensive care unit where he was monitored and cared for
around the clock. “I am so thankful and grateful to the nurses and
physicians at Methodist Hospitals’ neonatal intensive care unit. I
know that Johnny would not be the happy, healthy boy he is today
without their constant care and attention,” stated Nicole. Nicole
Greene, her husband and Johnny will attend the event as March of
Dimes Ambassador Family.
Methodist Hospitals is proud to be a sponsor of the event and
join the March of Dimes as the only hospital partner for the
Northwest Indiana Division March of Dimes Healthy Baby Partnership.
The event will feature tastings from 16 local chefs with a great
silent auction and exciting live auction showcasing the chefs
themselves. Funds raised by Signature Chefs Auction support
lifesaving research and educational programs aimed at giving every
baby a healthy start.
Methodist Hospitals shares the March of Dimes mission to improve
the health of babies by preventing premature births, birth defects
and infant mortality. Prematurity is the leading killer of babies in
their first month of life and is a major cause of long-term health
problems, including cerebral palsy, mental retardation, blindness,
chronic lung problems and more.
The March of Dimes is the leading nonprofit organization for
pregnancy and baby health. With chapters nationwide and its premier
event, March for Babies®, the March of Dimes works to improve the
health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and
infant mortality. For the latest resources and information, visit
