COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Ent Credit Union announced a $2.5 million philanthropic investment to establish the Ent Credit Union Endowed Chair in Pediatric Otolaryngology at Children’s Hospital Colorado.
This transformational gift will support innovation, research, and recruitment in one of the nation’s largest pediatric Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) programs, helping to improve outcomes for tens of thousands of children each year.
Dr. Soham Roy, the inaugural chair, is a nationally respected leader in pediatric otolaryngology and leads a team that serves nearly 30,000 unique patients annually. With support from the endowment, his department will expand access to care, enhance clinical excellence, and drive forward new treatment breakthroughs.
“Ent has long been a visionary philanthropic leader in the communities we serve, and we are proud to further our impact by advancing pediatric healthcare through this long-term investment,” said Mollie Bell, Ent Credit Union Chief Development Officer and Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation Trustee. “There is incredible work happening at Children’s Hospital Colorado to help ensure a healthier future for Colorado’s kids, which is a better future for all.”
