When George Mark Children’s House opened its doors in 2004, it was the first pediatric palliative care center in the United States. In 2011, founder Dr. Kathy Hull approached First Republic for help in ensuring the sustainability of their mission and the House itself. With financial guidance from their personal banker, this goal has been achieved. And the staff at George Mark House continues to offer a home away from home for chronically sick and terminally ill children and their families, providing a calm and comfortable haven filled with joy and laughter.
