“Helen’s legacy of generous giving in
partnership with our physician and clinical
leadership is transformative in the life of our
organization,” said Dr. Jamal Hakim, chief

In August, Orlando Health announced its new fetal
surgery program to repair spina bifida, which is
supported by the neuroscience center. As the first
hospital system in the state of Florida to offer this kind
of in-utero surgery, Orlando Health is prepared to
become a destination medical facility in the southeast

DECADES OF CARING for Kids

The Independent Pilots Association is the collective bargaining unit for the pilots of UPS. The Association’s
leadership felt it was important to have a philanthropic arm within its organization and officially formed the
Independent Pilots Association Foundation, or IPA Foundation, in late 1993. The foundation operates solely on
donations made by its members and contributions are purely voluntary. With many members being the parents of
children with special needs or with conditions that require extra medical or educational assistance, the foundation
focuses on children in need in the areas of the country where members live.

The IPA Foundation is dedicated to providing for the well-being of children
and their basic needs with a focus on making life changing differences for
children with exceptional medical requirements.

It was the large number of pilots living in Florida that prompted interest in Orlando Health Arnold Palmer
