Helen’s career as a Nurse and later a Physical Therapist took her many places and she had many wonderful experiences, including a stint as an Army nurse. The Children’s Institute in Pittsburgh was a very special place to her.  She always remembered with great fondness the patients that entered Institute’s doors and her wonderful colleagues. Many of which remained her cherished friends after her retirement. She retired as a Program Coordinator from the Institute 1988 after 29 years of dedicated service.
