Press release from Upstate Medical University: June 9, 2022 A $600,000 gift from the estate of Marilyn C. Miller, of Syracuse, has named the pediatric and adolescent unit in Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital in her memory, as well as that of her parents. The Frieda, Morris and Marilyn Miller Pediatric & Adolescent Unit is located on the 12th floor of Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital. It is a fitting tribute to a woman who devoted her entire career to children as a teacher in the Syracuse City School District. "Marilyn was proud to guide and teach many, many students through the years as a teacher," said Eileen Pezzi, vice president for development at Upstate Medical University. "She was equally dedicated to her parents, caring for them in their senior years, just as they had cared for her when she was a child. I wish she was here today to see the legacy she leaves behind," Pezzi continued. This press release was produced by Upstate Medical University. The views expressed here are the author's own.
