Columbus, Ohio-based Nationwide Children's Hospital received $25 million from donors Joe and Linda Chlapaty for its new Institute for Mental and Behavioral Health Research, according to a June 14 news release.
The gift will go toward research and construction for new facilities, the release said. It is part of the Empower the Possible campaign to raise $500 million for the hospital's $3.3 billion strategic plan.
Mr. and Ms. Chlapaty have given more than $30 million to the hospital in the last 40 years and have donated to other areas including child abuse prevention and suicide prevention. As part of the new gift, the hospital's fourth research building will be called the Joe and Linda Chlapaty Research Building at the Abigail Wexner Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital.
