Giving to Children’s

Be Ho, RN, Children’s operating room nurse: Giving back to a place that has given so much to me

Be Ho, RN, knows what it means to return a favor. She is a Children’s – Minneapolis operating room nurse with a career that spans an ocean and nearly three decades. Now, she is fulfilling a commitment she made years ago—to give back a small portion of the gift Children’s gave her at such a crucial time in her life.

“I’ve worked at Children’s of Minnesota for 27 years,” says Ho. “ I arrived in this country as a refugee from Vietnam. Children’s offered me a job and helped pay my tuition to earn a nursing degree. One never expects to be at the receiving end, but I was. Now I give back to the place that has given so much to me.

Children’s is my second home, and I feel a responsibility to donate whatever I can.” Ho supports Children’s annual employee campaign and values her membership in the Stars of Healing donor club. This recognition program honors employees who contribute to Children’s through investments of time and resources.
