Louisville, Ky.-based Kosair Children's Hospital has named its intensive care unit in honor of actress Jennifer Lawrence after she donated $2 million to help cover part of the costs of renovating the hospital's critical care centre, according to a WJAC report.
Ms. Lawrence, a Louisville native, recently helped Kosair Children's Hospital announce the rebuild and its plans to establish the Jennifer Lawrence Foundation Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at Kosair Children's Hospital, via a pre-taped video. In the video, Ms. Lawrence talks about her visits to the hospital, calling the children there "brave and inspiring." She also encourages others to give to the hospital.
"As part of my effort to help these children and caregivers, I challenge the entire community to get behind this cause and help match my gift by raising an additional $2 million to support all of these brave and inspiring children," Ms. Lawrence said.
According to the report, the hospital seeks to raise a total of $25 million to help cover the costs of renovating its critical care centre.
