4 Bryn Mawr – Girls Just Wanna Help Kids
When Shipley School fifth graders
Perry Maner and Emma Durham needed to
choose a community service project for
school, they had an idea. “Both of us
have spent time in Bryn Mawr Hospital
when we were sick,” Perry explains.
“It’s not fun and you miss your own bed
at home, so we decided our project
should help other kids who are sick in
the hospital.”

floors.

Leaving
a Legacy
Bryn Mawr Hospital was honored recently
with a generous gift from the estate of
Paul M. Ingersoll (sidebar). According
to his family, “(Paul) took great
pride in his association with Bryn Mawr
Hospital. He seemed to view it as a
second job and one in which he loved
being involved”. Paul’s thoughtful
bequest ensures that his kindness will
endure long after his death. On behalf
of future generations of patients and
caregivers, we thank him in spirit.
