The Ganatra Family

The Tansukh V. Ganatra Family continues to enhance the level of care
at Levine Children's Hospital (LCH). Building on their previous
transformational gifts, Tansukh, his wife, Sarla, and son, Rajesh, formed
close bonds with the LCH cardiology team in the Ricky Hendrick Centers
for Intensive Care. After learning of the team's vision and direction, the
Ganatra Family again stepped up and generously donated $500,000 to
the Partnership for Pediatric Hearts at LCH.

The Partnership for Pediatric Hearts is a local movement spearheaded
by passionate individuals and businesses in the community dedicated to
supporting pediatric cardiac care at Levine Children's Hospital. Funding
from the Partnership for Pediatric Hearts will support equipment and
resources to help enhance what is already one of the fastest growing
programs at LCH. Just five years after opening, the Cardiology and
Cardiac Services team at LCH was ranked by US News & World Report
as one of the top 50 pediatric cardiac programs in the nation.

Sarla, Tansukh, and Rajesh Ganatra have repeatedly stepped
forward to help enhance the congenital heart program
at Levine Children's Hospital.

The Ganatra Family continues to pave the way for excellence in pediatric cardiac care.
LCH is the only facility in the region to provide pediatric open-heart surgery, a pediatric
catheterization lab, heart transplant and heart assistance devices, and ECMO (heart-
lung bypass). Much of this is made possible by the benevolent support of The Ganatra
Family. In recognition of their continuing support, The Tansukh, Sarla, & Rajesh
Ganatra Initiative for Excellence in Children's Heart Care was established in 2010.
